Review and waive Jones Act restrictions for Puerto Rico

Ocasio-Cortez supports an immediate waiver and full review of the Jones Act, which she argues restricts Puerto Rico’s economy in ways other U.S. communities do not face. The proposal is framed specifically around Puerto Rico.

Context: The passage does not specify the waiver’s duration or the review process.
