The Trump administration has stated that it is prepared to take tough measures against countries that voted for the IMO’s Net-Zero Emissions Framework (NZF) at the MEPC meeting from October 14 to 17.
๐ Possible US measures:
๐ Blocking ships flagged by countries that support NZF
๐ Increased port charges for such ships
๐ Visa restrictions for seafarers from these countries
๐ Commercial fines and restrictions on government procurement
๐ Sanctions against officials promoting NZF climate policies.
The US has stated that it does not intend to accept global climate agreements that it believes “harm American economic interests.”
๐ The vote on the NZF plan will take place on October 17. Many shipping nations have already defined their positions, and Washington’s threats are increasing tension in the industry.
