On Monday, January 25, Biden signed an executive order on strengthening American manufacturing which is aimed at delivering economic relief to the U.S. economy.
The executive action also strongly supports the Jones Act, which requires goods shipped between U.S. ports to be transported on ships that are built, owned, and operated by United States citizens or permanent residents.
In addition to a major push for the federal agencies to buy American-manufactured products, the order will encourage the country’s transportation system to go green including making ports more climate-resilient.
