The White House is weighing another extension of waivers allowing foreign ships to transport goods between U.S. ports as renewed conflict with Iran raises ​concerns about energy prices and supply disruptions, according to two sources familiar with ⁠the discussions.

The Trump administration is considering whether ​to extend the waivers with geographic restrictions, limiting ⁠where foreign-flagged vessels can transport goods between U.S. ports, as officials seek to preserve a tool they say ‌has helped ease supply pressures while ​addressing criticism from ‌maritime industry groups and Republican allies.

The White House, along ‌with the Energy, Transportation and Interior departments, met earlier this week to weigh options ahead of ⁠a potential decision ‌before the end ⁠of July, sources said.

A White House official said ⁠that ⁠no decision has been made on whether to issue a third ‌waiver extension, noting the current waiver doesn't expire until August 16.

"President Trump’s decisive action to ‌waive ​the Jones Act has ‌helped prevent supply chain shortages across the country. The Administration is regularly monitoring ​how the waiver is being used," the official said.
