00:00A battle is brewing over who controls the world's oceans. The International Maritime Organization

00:05wants to impose carbon pricing on big ships by the end of the decade. Polluters pay, clean ships

00:10get rewarded, and the money funds climate goals. But the U.S. is furious. They've walked away from

00:15talks and are threatening retaliation, port fees, visa restrictions, even tariffs. Washington calls

00:20this EU-led initiative neocolonial export of climate rules. On one side, EU, China, and Japan

00:26pushing global climate governance. On the other, America refusing external control over its

00:32maritime operations. This isn't just about emissions, it's about who sets the rules for

00:37the 21st century. If this fractures, expect trade wars and broken climate alliances. If

00:42it sticks, every ship crossing every ocean could face new taxes.
