The Jones Act will not be repealed or significantly altered by future US administrations (specifically Trump and Biden), despite calls for deregulation, due to political reasons.
"If you believe that the new administrations zeal for deregulation means that this law which has failed on every front will be on the chopping block – you’d be wrong. Both Trump and Biden have announced their support for the act - because that’s just the way politics works."

Halting the enforcement of environmental regulations by a new US administration would not benefit businesses overall, but would instead provide an advantage to unethical businesses willing to disregard the law.
"I don’t agree that this would do anything to help businesses, as companies still have an obligation to comply with regulation – whether it is being enforced or not – but it would give an advantage to least ethical businesses who are most willing to break the law."

A strategy of halting enforcement of regulations in the United States would be ineffective because citizens can still file lawsuits against companies for violations if federal or state regulators fail to act.
"I don’t think this would work in the United States either - as even if an agency decides not to enforce a rule, citizens can still sue companies for violations when states and federal regulators fail to."
