Trump drops IMO carbon talks, threatens retaliation over emission fees

The move was conveyed through a diplomatic note sent to other IMO member states as the Marine Environment Protection Committee met in London for high-stakes talks, aiming to finalise new climate policy measures by the end of the week.
