Inside Trump’s Pressure Campaign to Derail Global Shipping Emissions Tax
On Friday, nations at a meeting of the UN’s International Maritime Organization voted to delay by one year a decision on the landmark measure that would force large vessels to curb emissions or potentially incur fees of $380 per ton.
