Trump says he’ll consider waiving ‘restrictive’ shipping law

Asked if he would consider suspending the 1920s Jones Act that aims to protect U.S. jobs, Trump said “we’ll take a look at everything.”

The Jones Act requires goods shipped between U.S. ports to be moved on U.S.-flagged vessels. It’s often blamed for making gas more expensive.

In an interview on Fox News Radio that aired Friday, Trump called it a “restrictive act” but also acknowledged it has “tremendous support” in Congress.  — AP
