How do you stretch to Trump refused? Especially when he immediately signed the order after the governor requested it?
A 10 day waiver is almost worthless for Puerto Rico and that's not what he requested.
I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you're preforming for Trump. He refused to step in to get DHS to waive it, is what I said. There were early reports that said the wavier was denied, but later corrected to say no decision was made. It took him a week when it was suspended immediately for Texas and Floria. Why? Real America First maybe? Maybe Elaine Cho, Transportation Secretary and Sen. McConnell's wife, has a shipping monopoly to Puerto Rico.
“We're thinking about that [waiving the Jones Act] but we have a lot of shippers and a lot of people that work in the shipping industry that don’t want the Jones Act lifted," Trump told reporters. "And we have a lot of ships out there right now.”
