Move sets up potential stand-off on tax between US and EU

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the OECD global corporate tax deal, which set a 15% minimum tax rate on multinationals.

This move threatens Ireland, which relies heavily on corporate tax revenue from U.S. firms.

Trump also plans to retaliate against countries imposing “extraterritorial” taxes on U.S. businesses.

EU officials, including Ireland, expressed concern but emphasized their commitment to the tax reforms.

The decision risks escalating U.S.-EU tensions, with fears of trade tariffs and broader economic fallout.
