  "account": "President Donald Trump has extended a Jones Act waiver for 90 days, allowing foreign-flagged vessels to transport oil and goods between U.S. ports, according to a White House official. The administration initiated the waiver in March, one month after the U.S. initiated military action against Iran, with the goal of reducing oil and fuel prices. In August, the waiver was extended indefinitely, with decisions now made individually for each case, a provision that remains in effect. This marks the longest period of waiver implementation in the shipping law's history. The Jones Act stipulates that cargo moving between U.S. ports must be carried on vessels built in the U.S., owned by U.S. entities, and operated by American crew members. The waiver aims to alleviate the impact of the Iran war on fuel prices by broadening shipping opportunities and curtailing transport disruptions. Since the waiver's implementation in March, an additional 90 million barrels of petroleum products, predominantly refined goods, have been shipped between U.S. ports, including 27 million barrels of gasoline, 26 million barrels of crude oil, and 6 million barrels of renewable fuels, as stated by the White House.
