from Geopolitics Unplugged · host GeopoliticsUnplugged
Summary:Cabotage laws, which restrict domestic transport to national operators, are examined as a potential flashpoint in Trump's 2025 trade agenda. These laws, including the U.S. Jones Act, are widespread globally, serving economic and national security purposes but also causing inefficiencies and higher costs. The administration's focus on "America First" could lead to trade disputes over foreign cabotage while the domestic Jones Act faces scrutiny for its economic impact. The future of these regulations hinges on geopolitical tensions and the balance between protectionism and free trade. This is a public episode.
