If they’re the suspending the Jones Act, they’re starting to panic. Trump may have opened Pandora’s box. On behalf of Netanyahu, Israel, and the warmongers in Washington.

The United States (U.S.) government is planning to suspend the 1920 Jones Act in a bid to tame the surging oil prices amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage through which much of the world’s oil supply passes.

According to people familiar with the matter, who were not authorised to discuss the development in public, the Trump administration is planning to issue a 30-day waiver for the centuries-old oil maritime law.

According to the official document available at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website, the Jones Act, part of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, provides that the transportation of merchandise between U.S. coastwise points, either directly or via a foreign port, is reserved for U.S.-built, owned, and documented vessels.
