WASHINGTON, March ‌13 (Reuters) - U.S. ​President ​Donald Trump said he was looking at loosening shipping ‌rules under the Jones Act, ⁠telling Fox News in an interview ‌that aired on Friday ‌that he would take a look at it but giving no ​other details.

"We'll take a look, we'll take a look at ⁠everything, and it's all going to work ​out," Trump said in an interview with Fox News Radio's "The Brian ​Kilmeade Show" taped ‌on Thursday night.

Trump discussed military plans throughout the roughly ⁠45-minute interview, saying the U.S. military was not yet targeting Iran's ⁠infrastructure or its uranium stocks.

Asked about any ​U.S. plans to take Iran's Kharg Island export hub, Trump said it was not ‌high on the list but that he could change ‌his mind.
