Press Release: Jones Act Waiver Protects Military Readiness and American Families

Veteran Action commends President Trump for issuing a 60-day Jones Act waiver. As the U.S. rapidly executes our military objectives in Operation Epic Fury, this waiver is a critical step to keep energy markets stable and resources moving.

The waiver allows vital resources like oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal to flow freely to U.S. ports for sixty days, ensuring military installations remain well supplied and easing energy costs for American families.

"President Trump is leading on two fronts — defeating our enemies abroad and protecting American energy security at home. This Jones Act waiver ensures our military stays supplied and American families see relief at the pump," said Mark Lucas, Founder and President of Veteran Action.

Veteran Action urges swift implementation and clear guidance from CBP so shippers and port operators can take full advantage of the waiver immediately.
