AFPI: Jones Act Waiver Is an America First Solution

Washington, D.C.—Jason Hayes, Director of Energy and Environment at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement in response to President Trump's announcement of a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act to keep American energy flowing freely and affordably:

"This is an America First response to a chronic problem. When U.S. producers aren't able to freely move American fuels between American ports, families across the nation are faced with higher prices. We produce more energy than any other nation in history, thanks to the administration's Energy Dominance agenda. As we work towards fulfilling that agenda and greater energy independence, we must have the flexibility to move resources efficiently so that Americans get the affordable, reliable energy they deserve."
