@RepAaronBean@AshleyMoodyFL@SenRickScott The Jones Act waiver has failed to lower fuel prices & instead handed American jobs to foreign shipping companies Congress should demand this 90day extension be shorter & ended Stand up for American ships American mariners & US security
The Jones Act waiver continues wilding.
Remember when we were all excited when we got a China ships 301 investigation and the prospect of the return of Duties on Tonnage for Chinese ships?
Those were the days...
“President Trump issued the longest Jones Act waiver in history. We all know it has done nothing to lower gas prices—but what has it done? It has halted investment in U.S. shipbuilding. It’s stolen jobs from American mariners. It’s allowed Chinese state-owned vessels to operate in an unprecedented fashion in U.S. waters.”
A hard-hitting statement from @RepRickLarsen! 🇺🇸⚓️
🇺🇸 We support the Jones Act, because the Jones Act supports our American Mariners.
Every foreign mariner used through the Jones Act waiver is a job taken away from an American mariner today and a lost opportunity for the future of our industry.
Protect American jobs, American vessels, and American investment.

Can always count on @RepGaramendi to bring the heat about the impact of the Jones Act waiver on the domestic maritime infrastructure.
Is the @POTUS administrator committed to the US maritime industry?

@realDonaldTrump Your #JonesAct waiver just allowed the @DeptofWar to utilize a Chinese vessel and sideline American mariners...for no discernible reason. How does this advance U.S. interests? Why is Washington undermining American mariner jobs? End the waiver now.
The Jones Act is the ultimate "America First" policy. The American Maritime Partnership’s new national campaign calls on President Trump to protect domestic jobs, secure our supply chains, and end the 150-day Jones Act waiver. Let’s support American mariners!

The Anchors Aweigh Fly-In is officially underway. This morning, Navy League members from across the country boarded buses and headed to Capitol Hill, ready to meet with Members of Congress and make the case for America's sea services. From shipbuilding to recruitment, the issues on the table today matter for the long-term strength of our Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine.
@realDonaldTrump Trust your instincts and listen to your U.S. mariners: this waiver must end. End the waiver, safeguard maritime jobs, and power up our maritime fleet. #Stopthewaiver
The current Jones Act waiver moves our nation in the wrong direction, adding risk without an economic upside. Crowley’s Clay Heil testified before the U.S. Senate on why opposing the waiver remains critical to our nation's resilience and security. Watch: https://t.co/rDOv1YoOzm
AWO member Vane Brothers highlights how the Jones Act supports our American maritime workforce. Meet Captain Butch Cornelius of Piney Point, MD—one of thousands whose livelihoods depend on the Jones Act. @realDonaldTrump End the waiver. Restore American jobs.
"Extremely Damaging to Every Part of the US Maritime Industry."
@CrowleyMaritime’s Clayton Heil testified before @SenateCommerce & @commercedems on the risks of extending the Jones Act waiver.
The waiver is actively undermining domestic maritime companies and the future of @UsmmaO.
Another Chinese-owned, Chinese-operated, Chinese-crewed, and Chinese-flagged vessel is reaping profits while operating tax-free in domestic commerce along the East and Gulf Coasts.
End the Jones Act waiver. Put Americans back to work. 🇺🇸
