The United States is considering using visa restrictions and sanctions as retaliatory actions for countries that support the International Maritime Organization’s “Net-Zero Framework” proposal, which is due to be voted on next week, President Donald Trump’s administration said on Friday.

“The Administration unequivocally rejects this proposal before the IMO and will not tolerate any action that increases costs for our citizens, energy providers, shipping companies and their customers, or tourists,” the Trump administration said.
