President Donald Trump has emerged with a win from a fight with European officials over their agenda to create another carbon tax and raise the cost of items shipped to America.

It was in the United Nations where globalists who adhere to the ideology called climate change, called global warming before the warming essentially stopped, hatched a plan to charge shipping companies for their travels.

"Huge push by @SecRubio and the State Dept team. Strong diplomacy that put American business and consumers first WON THE DAY over an ideological carbon tax from the UN and EU," Mike Walz wrote on social media.

Fifty-seven countries voted in favor of delaying the adoption vote and 49 voted against. There were 21 abstentions.

The Washington Examiner explained the decision was "a shock, as many member states of the IMO, a London-based specialized agency within the U.N., were confident there were enough votes to adopt the measure as international maritime law."

Trump has been opposing the new world taxation plan for months, and recently escalated his objections.

Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said the delay was to the component of the "net-zero framework."

The report said, "The motion to delay the vote on the measure was reportedly put forward by Singapore on Friday and called to a vote by Saudi Arabia, which was aligned with the Trump administration in its efforts to block the framework."

Trump expressed outrage that the International Maritime Organization was trying to pass a "global Carbon Tax."

The plan was to charge shipping massive fees for "greenhouse gas emissions."

Initially, ship owners were facing a minimum of $100 for every ton of carbon dioxide emitted over a baseline.
