Ban on Ships Using Ports Where American-Owned Access Land Was Seized.
This law bans cargo and passenger vessels from entering the U.S. if they used ports in Western Hemisphere countries where the government seized or restricted access to land owned by U.S. citizens or companies, essential for port operations. The measure aims to protect American property rights abroad. This could impact supply chains and the flow of imported goods and cruise travel from affected regions.
Key points
Cargo and passenger ships using "prohibited ports" cannot import goods or release passengers into the United States.
A port is prohibited if a foreign trade partner government seized or limited access to U.S.-owned land necessary for port infrastructure access.
Banned vessels are also prohibited from receiving repairs, refueling, or maintenance services in the U.S.
