The Trump administration is set to temporarily suspend a longstanding maritime regulation that mandates the use of American vessels for transporting goods between U.S. ports. This 30-day exemption aims to address the sharp rise in oil and gasoline prices by allowing more flexibility in shipping options. The change is intended to ease fuel costs by increasing competition and availability in domestic shipping.
This development was reported on Bloomberg Television, which covers financial news and market updates.
