Last week, President Trump struck a blow for freedom against “global governance.” He rallied fifty-seven members of the International Maritime Organization to prevent for at least a year the imposition of “international taxation” on this and other sovereign nations.

In a somber press conference with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington yesterday, Trade Representative Jamison…
