President Donald Trump is giving energy companies and traders more time to transport oil and other commodities around the US on foreign-flagged ships, renewing a policy intended to lower fuel costs.
Trump has decided to extend by 90 days a waiver of mandates under the century-old Jones Act that otherwise require cargo carried between US ports to be transported on American-owned, -flagged and -operated vessels, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity before the decision is public.
