Truth:
The assertion that the Jones Act is the reason the US imports Russian oil is wrong and demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of global (and domestic) oil markets, fails to recognize that American vessels are regularly carrying crude oil and other petroleum products to markets throughout the country and are in a position to continue to support the needs of refiners and other customers in the United States. Further, a call for a waiver, which would displace American vessels for foreign vessels with foreign workers, is ironic given that the current supply chain and Ukraine crisis shows that our nation must be in control of our own energy and transportation needs.
