President Trump’s resistance to global organizations has a positive aspect in challenging the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)’s tax cartel, which acts against America’s interests.

Upon returning to office, Trump invalidated the OECD’s “Global Tax Deal” in the United States, directing the treasury secretary to suggest reforms, reestablishing U.S. tax sovereignty. This move signified a clear rejection of European economic pessimism.

The OECD, initially created to boost economic growth, has instead waged a war on tax competition, pushing for a European-style high tax model globally. By disengaging from this flawed initiative, Trump struck a blow against European bureaucrats aiming to influence American tax policies.

The first part of the OECD plan would relocate corporate profits based on customer location, resulting in a substantial transfer of U.S. tax revenues to foreign governments. The second part involves enforcing a minimum corporate income tax of 15%, eliminating tax competition to attract investments.

By dismissing the OECD’s tax system, Trump not only defended U.S. autonomy but also committed to continued growth and innovation. Europe’s economic stagnation is rooted in high taxes, excessive regulation, and a disdain for wealth creation, a path the U.S. should avoid.

Contrary to the previous administration’s support for the OECD’s plan, Trump’s opposition should prompt the U.S. to reconsider funding the organization if it persists in harming American interests. If necessary, the U.S. should contemplate withdrawing from the OECD to align with its focus on economic expansion and trade freedom.
