President Donald Trump has just dealt a devastating blow to the globalist green agenda and is standing firm against a proposed global “climate tax” being advanced by the United Nations.
The scheme, linked International Maritime Organization (IMO), is part of a UN deal to supposedly cut “global shipping emissions.”
However, Trump blasted the scheme as a “Global Green New Scam Tax” that would punish consumers and surrender U.S. sovereignty to global bureaucrats.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump said he was “outraged” by the proposal, which aims to force the global shipping industry to hit so-called “Net Zero” emissions by 2050.
“I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax,” Trump said, urging nations to reject the measure.
“The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form.
“We will not tolerate increased prices on American Consumers OR the creation of a Green New Scam Bureaucracy to spend YOUR money on their Green dreams.”
Global Bureaucrats Target U.S. Shipping and Consumers
The new policy would require large oceangoing vessels, those weighing over 5,000 tons, to comply with strict global fuel standards and emissions limits.
Critics warn it amounts to a global carbon tax, effectively forcing American industries and consumers to pay for an unelected foreign body’s climate agenda.
The Trump administration announced its opposition last weekend in a joint statement from four top Cabinet officials: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
“Under this framework, ships would have to pay fees for failing to meet unattainable fuel standards and emissions targets,” the statement read.
“These fees will drive up energy and transportation, and leisure cruise costs.”
The secretaries condemned the proposal as a direct assault on U.S. interests, warning it would cripple supply chains, raise prices, and expand global climate bureaucracy.
“Our fellow IMO members should be on notice that we will look for their support against this action and not hesitate to retaliate or explore remedies for our citizens should this endeavor fail,” they wrote.
Global Push for Control
The IMO, which operates under the United Nations umbrella, has 176 member states.
If consensus is not reached, the plan will go to a formal vote, where it would need approval from two-thirds of the 108 nations that previously ratified the organization’s pollution-reduction framework.
If passed, the new regulation would take effect in 2027, marking the first time a global entity imposed greenhouse gas pricing and emission limits across an entire industry.
Trump Draws the Line
Trump’s statement signals a clear warning to globalist institutions seeking to bypass national governments through environmental mandates.
The president made it clear that under his administration, the United States will not bow to international climate taxes or bureaucratic control.
With his message to the IMO, Trump reaffirmed a core principle of his America First agenda.
That agenda asserts that U.S. energy policy and economic sovereignty will never be dictated by foreign elites or the United Nations’ “climate” agenda.
