Is there a future where China uses this as leverage with the rest of the world to put sanctions on the US if we don't transition?

The EU will introduce "sanctions" via a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) at the end of this year. Currently the US wouldn't be affected much by this -- it only affects cement, aluminium, fertilisers, iron and steel, hydrogen and electricity for now.

It might be extended in the future, though.
