House GOP Leaders Urge Trump to End Jones Act Waivers in August

Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders asked President Donald Trump to let Jones Act waivers lapse in mid-August instead of extending them again.
A letter seen by Reuters shows the push centers on waivers to the U.S. law governing shipping between domestic ports.
The request puts House Republican leaders on record pressing Trump to stick to the current expiration date rather than prolong the temporary relief.
The move could shape U.S. domestic shipping policy in August, when the waivers are scheduled to expire.
