The United States was the sole nation to vote against a United Nations General Assembly declaration aimed at halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. U.S. representative Dan Negrea argued that the declaration was being used as a vehicle to enforce global climate pacts and restrict mobility, despite acknowledging the public health benefits of road safety measures. This stance contrasts with the near-unanimous support from 162 other member states, including Argentina, and highlights a divergence in international priorities regarding road safety and environmental policy.
