President Donald Trump slammed the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency that oversees shipping safety, in a new Truth Social post on Wednesday after it adopted a global carbon tax.
"I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax," Trump's post reads in part. "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."
Trump has repeatedly attacked global and domestic climate programs, such as the Green New Deal that was introduced by progressive Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Trump also withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, which called for the world's developed nations to reduce their carbon footprint by certain levels by the end of the decade.
Trump claimed the new carbon tax would harm American consumers and create a new bureaucracy.
"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," Trump wrote. "Stand with the United States, and vote NO in London tomorrow!"
