How would world trade view interpret carbon taxation. Say the US or Russia think taxing the carbon impact of products and services would lead to better climatic outcomes.

Let's say the US and Russia have assessed the costs for all gods and services and want to levy them on all products foreign and domestic. Would those taxes/levies amount to "trade barriers" or is there a loophole around that?



It isn't a trade barrier if levied evenly across all imports and doesn't discriminate against foreign producers.
