Finally, there's the question of the Jones Act. Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. If you're Alaskan or Hawaiian, you're also probably familiar with the fuckery it's caused. For Puerto Rico, the stakes are even higher.

Would the “negotiation” on these matters be with the governor of PR or would they need to use sympathetic reps in congress (or their non-voting ones)?

Right now, Congress would functionally be negotiating with itself on any changes to the Jones Act. The governor of PR can advocate, of course, but it's not up to her in any sense. At least not formally. If things ever got serious, of course I'm sure there'd be influence campaigns on both sides.
