Back to EpisodesTrump's Jones Act Waiver Failed? Bill Doyle Sounds Alarm on Energy Security & Rising Gas Prices
Description
Did President Trump's Jones Act waiver actually lower gasoline prices—or did it create new risks for America's energy security and maritime industry?
On this episode of Power Hour, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with Bill Doyle, CEO and Executive Director of the Dredging Contractors of America, former Commissioner of the Federal Maritime Commission, and former Executive Director of the Port of Baltimore.
Bill delivers a powerful assessment of the Jones Act waiver implemented during the Strait of Hormuz crisis, arguing that the policy has failed to reduce fuel prices while simultaneously harming American maritime companies, shipyards, and workers.
⚓ Key Topics Include:
• Why gasoline prices continued to rise despite the Jones Act waiver
• The growing role of foreign vessels in U.S. coastal shipping
• National security concerns surrounding Chinese-operated ships
• How the Jones Act supports American jobs and maritime independence
• The Francis Scott Key Bridge recovery and the strength of the U.S. maritime industry
• The future of U.S. shipbuilding and delayed billion-dollar investments
• LNG exports, energy infrastructure, and America's strategic advantage
• Why Bill Doyle believes the waiver should be ended immediately
As geopolitical tensions, energy prices, and supply chain security remain front-page issues, this conversation explores the critical connection between maritime policy, economic stability, and national security.
