🇺🇸 特朗普总统豁免了《琼斯法案》,允许外国船只在美国港口之间运输石油、天然气、煤炭和化肥,以应对战争带来的高昂燃料成本。 此举打破了一个延续百年的保护主义垄断集团,该集团迫使美国人使用成本高昂、工会势力强大的美国籍船只,推高了国内航运成本,导致物价上涨,最终损害了消费者利益。 这是政府承认(虽然不情愿,但毕竟是战时)其自身法规造成了损害,并做出让步,。 这项豁免仅持续60天,所以可以将其视为一项紧急措施。 来源:彭博社、路透社、美联社 🇺🇸 Trump waived the Jones Act, letting foreign ships haul oil, gas, coal, and fertilizers between U.S. ports to fight sky-high fuel costs from the war. This shreds a century-old protectionist cartel that forces Americans to use expensive, union-heavy U.S.-flagged ships, driving up domestic shipping costs, inflating prices, and punishing consumers. It's the government admitting (unwillingly, but it's wartime, am I right?) its own regs cause pain and backing off, beautiful. It's only for 60 days, so consider it an emergency patch.
