An ambassador from #Asia was told that, if he voted in favor of the plan, his country’s sailors would no longer be allowed to disembark at #US ports. #Caribbean diplomats were told that they could be #blacklisted from entering the US. And #MarcoRubio, the secy of #state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship #pollution.
These & other #threats, including #tariffs, #sanctions & the revocation of diplomats’ #US #visas, effectively killed the deal, according to the 9 American, European & developing-nation diplomats directly involved in the negotiations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin.
