European countries frustrated by inaction on climate change are taking a lesson from President Trump’s trade wars — and threatening carbon tariffs on laggards like the United States
MADRID — European countries frustrated by inaction on climate change are taking a lesson from President Donald Trump’s trade wars — and threatening carbon tariffs on laggards like the United States.
Spanish Economics Minister Nadia Calviño Santamaría told reporters at the U.N. conference that she wants a carbon tariff “as soon as possible” that would target any country that doesn't abide by its commitments under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. Trump has said he intends to pull the U.S. out of the pact next year.
Senate Energy Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski said she hoped the EU would step back from efforts to raise tariffs. “One would have thought we were all done with the escalation,” said Murkowski, who led the effort that lifted a ban on U.S. crude oil exports in 2015.
