A landmark global shipping deal, seen as a significant step in climate action, has been suspended due to pressure from the US, with President Trump calling the deal a 'green scam.' This intervention has stalled important progress in addressing emissions from the shipping industry, a major source of greenhouse gases. The deal, which aimed to reduce carbon emissions from shipping, has encountered a setback, highlighting the challenges of international cooperation on climate issues. This development underscores the impact of political influences on crucial climate policies, risking momentum in global efforts to combat climate change.
