the European Union will consider amending its law that sets a minimum corporate tax rate of 15% next week to ease tensions with the United States. Documents show that officials will discuss several policy options at a meeting next Tuesday that could significantly change the way EU laws are applied. Their goal is to appease Trump, as the US government does not want American companies to be bound by this law. The "Minimum Tax Directive" has been in effect for less than two years, levying a 15% corporate tax benchmark across the entire EU, in line with the 2021 agreement signed by more than 140 countries at the time, including the United States.
