Trump waives shipping law for 60 days to allow 'free flow' of fuel to US amid Gulf war

US President Donald Trump-led government has issued a 60-day Jones Act waiver, that'll allow "vital resources like oil, natural gas, fertiliser and coal to flow freely to US ports," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. This is "just another step to mitigate...short-term disruptions to the oil market" as US military continues Operation Epic Fury against Iran, she added.
