house 10/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to oppose an international proposal for a global tax on shipping emissions that would compromise U.S. sovereignty, increase costs for American businesses, and undermine our economic interests. Our goal is to ensure that decisions on trade and taxation remain under the control of elected U.S. officials, protecting American workers and industries from unaccountable global regulation.

If global shipping emissions sink us, no amount of sovereignty will save our economy or the planet.

We all want sovereignty, but the ship sails smoother when countries row together on climate.

Taxing big polluters globally is justice, not an invasion of sovereignty—wake up to the climate crisis!

No unelected global tax collector is taking my paycheck—sovereignty first, carbon tax last.

America’s still captain, but maybe it’s time to listen to the international crew on emissions.
