**Unconscionable: UN Moves to Tax U.S. Maritime Industry**
In an alarming development destined to undermine American sovereignty, the United Nations is poised to implement a sweeping global climate tax targeting the U.S. maritime sector.
This proposed carbon tax stems from the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is poised to impose significant financial burdens on American businesses and consumers alike.
If approved in the upcoming vote, this tax could cost American shippers more than $100 billion over the next seven years, fundamentally altering the economic landscape of maritime shipping.
House Republicans, led by Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona, are rightfully taking a stand against what amounts to an overt effort by unelected global bureaucrats to dictate American economic policy.
Biggs is introducing a resolution condemning the IMO's so-called "Net-Zero Framework," which would require U.S. vessels to contribute to a centralized international fund based on their carbon emissions—effectively establishing a taxation system without any American representation.
This move contradicts the foundational American principle of "no taxation without representation," and threatens to increase costs for U.S. producers while eroding our economic independence.
The IMO's agenda is not just a mere policy change; it's a strategic assault on U.S. interests that privileged nations like China eagerly support.
China, which has a dismal record for emissions, stands to gain significantly from this international tax, further solidifying its dominance in global shipping.
The Biden administration has had the opportunity to forge a robust response to this impending global tax, yet rather than defend American economic interests, it risks succumbing to the pressures of global elitism.
The resolution calls on the President to instruct U.S. representatives at the IMO to categorically oppose this proposal.
Additionally, it emphasizes that no American-flagged vessel should be subjected to international taxation without explicit congressional approval, reinforcing our nation's commitment to self-governance and economic liberty.
Biggs’s initiative echoes the principles championed during the Trump administration, where policies prioritizing America's well-being and economic sovereignty were paramount.
In a time when the American economy is already facing external pressures, we cannot afford more burdens from international programs that serve only to undermine our competitiveness.
Americans deserve to know that their government will fight against unjust taxes that compromise not just our financial standing but our national sovereignty as well.
As the UN prepares for its vote, it is crucial for Congress and the administration to stand firm against this globalist endeavor.
Resisting this tax isn't merely about economic impacts; it's about ensuring that American values prevail over foreign interests and that the United States remains a beacon of independence in a complicated global landscape.
