''My U.S. colleague Janet Yellen told G20 finance ministers today that the United States would participate, and that the new regulations for fair international taxation should be binding for all companies,'' German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said.
''This is a giant step forward on our way to an agreement among the participating countries by the summer.''
So long as it's just an agreement, and not a treaty, the next time the US gets a real president, the US can bow out of the tax.
