Trump at UNGA attacks IMO net-zero shipping framework, signals US opposition

President Trump used his UNGA address to renew criticism of the IMO's Net-Zero Framework, signaling US opposition to the UN shipping agency's decarbonization plan. The move aligns with his administration's broader rollback of climate regulations but marks a direct confrontation with an international regulatory body. The impact on global shipping emissions and trade remains uncertain, as the US is a major shipping market but the IMO framework's enforcement mechanisms are unclear.
