More than 100 nations were poised last month to approve a historic deal to slash pollution from cargo ships. That’s when the United States launched a pressure campaign that officials around the world have called extraordinary, even by the standards of the Trump administration’s combativeness, according to nine diplomats on its receiving end.

An ambassador from Asia was told that, if he voted in favor of the plan, his country’s sailors would no longer be allowed to disembark at American ports. Caribbean diplomats were told that they would be blacklisted from entering the United States. And Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties and other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship pollution.

The efforts yielded results. On Oct. 17, nations voted 57-49 to delay a decision by one year, a vote that effectively killed the deal for the foreseeable future.

Soooo, Dotard is delivering on his promise to Big Oil, in return for $1 BILLION!

And the rest of the world will suffer.

Thanks a bunch, you MAGA morons.
