Condemning the United Nations and International Maritime Organization for proposing a global tax on shipping emissions, threatening United States sovereignty, trade, and economic interests.

This House resolution states the House's opposition to a proposed International Maritime Organization "Net-Zero Framework" that would charge ships a fee based on their carbon emissions and pay it into an international fund. It calls on the President to have U.S. representatives at the organization vote against any global emissions tax and related enforcement. It states that U.S.-flagged ships and U.S. shipping companies should not be subject to taxes, fees, or penalties from any international body without the consent of Congress. It also urges the administration to consider tariffs or restrictions against nations or entities that try to enforce or benefit from such a tax. The resolution does not itself change law.
