Great @WSJ visualizations of @TradePartnersDC trade/tariff data. Clearly shows how the dynamic differs by sector: tariffs are generally high on apparel but low on furniture.

These Jones Act sailors are the further vessel operators, pilots, directors of operations, Marine vetting managers, charters, and SME'S for America's Maritime industry. I support the Jones Act not only for its initial benefits, but the long term as well.
Well done, Mariners!!
With a force of American Maritime vessels delivering over 100 million gallons of fuel over the coming days, Florida’s fuel supply is expected to stabilize, offering relief to the state’s residents and businesses.
