flag U.S. threatens sanctions on UN nations backing IMO shipping emissions plan, calling it an unfair carbon tax.

flag The U.S. has threatened sanctions, visa restrictions, and port access bans against UN nations supporting a proposed IMO plan to cut shipping emissions, calling it an unfair "global carbon tax" that harms American interests. flag The Net Zero Framework, set for a vote, aims to decarbonize a sector responsible for nearly 3% of global emissions and 80% of world trade. flag U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, argue the plan imposes undue economic burdens and undermines national sovereignty. flag The move reflects the administration’s broader reversal on climate policy, favoring fossil fuel expansion and opposing international climate regulations.
