Summary
A planned EU climate law targeting a potent greenhouse gas has become a new flashpoint with the Trump administration, raising the risk to billions of dollars in transatlantic trade.
The dispute centers on Europe’s crackdown on one of the world’s most climate-warming gases, a measure Washington sees as harmful to US commercial interests.
The clash also threatens Europe’s energy security, widening tensions beyond climate policy into trade and supply concerns.
The standoff adds another strain to US-EU relations as both sides weigh the economic cost of tougher emissions rules.
