Trump slams IMO carbon tax plan as ‘Global Green New Scam’: ‘I am outraged…’

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump slammed the International Maritime Organization's global carbon tax in a Truth Social post, urging allies to `Stand with the United States, and vote NO in London tomorrow!`
  • On Friday, IMO members voted to postpone the ballot for a year as tensions rose and by Oct 17 the vote on the International Maritime Organization's Net‑Zero Framework looked doubtful.
  • The State Department issued a media note titled `Taking Action to Defend America from the UN’s First Global Carbon Tax`, warning of visa restrictions, port fees, sanctions and penalties on supporters.
  • The postponement marks a setback ahead of next month's COP30 climate summit in Brazil, as observers said it shows Trump administration pressure on the International Maritime Organization and lets the U.S. block consensus.
