(Montgomery, Ala.) - Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall joined an Iowa-led letter, calling on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to end his last-ditch effort to push the Biden-Harris Administration's agenda through the door before Biden leaves office.

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution is meeting this week to negotiate an international plastics agreement. The States are strongly urging Secretary Blinken to not enter into negotiations or radical agreements that will bind President Trump's administration.

"The will of the American people is clear: the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration are for the history books. It's time their administration stand-down, and not tie the hands of President Trump, simply to pacify a few of their voters, especially when it was abundantly clear that Americans want Trump leadership in the White House," said Attorney General Marshall.

The States make the case that Secretary Blinken should listen to the American people and tell the Negotiating Committee that President Trump will decide America's position in these negotiations.

Alabama joined the Iowa-led letter, along with Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.
