Original Note:
False, this isn’t local policy from PR. The Jones Act, a federal law since 1920, forces trade through U.S. ports, raising costs. Repealing it would require the support of both houses of Congress. The Jones Act is a politically sensitive issue, especially in states like PR. https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/jones-act-burden-america-can-no-longer-bear
