House Condemns UN/IMO Global Shipping Tax to Protect US Economy.
The U.S. House of Representatives condemns the proposed UN/IMO global tax on shipping emissions, arguing it threatens U.S. sovereignty and economic interests. This resolution warns that the tax would increase the cost of transporting goods worldwide, likely leading to higher consumer prices and harming American businesses and jobs. The House calls for the President to actively oppose the measure internationally.
Key points
Consumer Prices: The resolution aims to prevent increased costs for imported and exported goods, which would otherwise raise prices for everyday consumers.
Sovereignty: It affirms that international bodies cannot impose taxes or fees on U.S. companies or vessels without Congressional approval.
Job Protection: The measure seeks to safeguard American jobs in the shipping, manufacturing, and energy sectors from unfair global regulation.
