Republican Leaders Push Trump to End Jones Act Waivers in August
House Speaker Mike Johnson and 51 Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to allow Jones Act waivers to expire on August 16 as scheduled. The waivers, issued during the Iran conflict to ease supply disruptions, should end since emergency conditions have passed, lawmakers argue. A White House spokesperson defended the policy, citing improved fuel supply movement, though analysts note limited impact on gasoline prices.
