The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has postponed its vote to finalize a plan to curtail maritime pollution. This decision follows a statement from former President Donald Trump, asserting that the United States would impose sanctions if the agreement is not ratified. The postponement is attributed to disagreements regarding the implementation of the plan and potential economic repercussions. The IMO stated it will review the situation with its member states and seek alternative solutions. The decision has implications for global efforts to protect the marine environment and promote sustainable shipping practices.
