    In this special edition of Maritime in America, Aaron Smith, Ashley Smith, and Angelle Johnson sit down with shipping expert John McCown to discuss the ongoing Jones Act waiver and what it means for American maritime industries.

Together, the group examines whether recent Jones Act waivers have achieved their intended goals, the economic realities behind domestic and foreign-flag shipping, and the broader impacts on fuel prices, U.S. maritime jobs, supply chains, and national security. The conversation explores the facts, data, and long-term consequences shaping the future of America's maritime industry. ๐ŸŽง Subscribe for more conversations with the leaders and professionals shaping maritime in America.
