US Senators fear Trump may snub IMO 2020
Fourteen US Senators from US President Donald Trump’s party have urged him to allow the 0.5% sulphur cap in marine fuels regulation to take effect as planned in January. They argue that any attempt to reverse the supranational red tape drawn up by the IMO might create market uncertainty, cause harm to the energy industry and potentially backfire on consumers
