President Biden is now also grappling with the US sixty-year-old sanctions on Cuba in light of recent historical demonstrations in Cuba for greater human rights and freedom.

The Biden administration has continued to follow the later Trump policy of not filing actions in the dispute resolution system against China or any other country.

Dispute resolution is at the core of the peaceful settlement of trade disputes that could otherwise spin out of control. The G-7 has taken the first step in restructuring the global tax regime. This is the first international effort in decades. This has huge implications for global commerce especially tech firms. Global trade issues are intricately related to international tax rules. Much beyond tariff taxation. Lot of work still needs to be done.

Especially as to the minimum corporate rate, source taxation location of economic activity and settling issues of digital taxation.

Drafting a code, national adoption and national implementation are huge next steps. For example, getting the eventual agreement through the U. But this is necessary to stop tax evasion, tax avoidance and a global race to the bottom. Ensuring tax compliance by multinational corporation is essential for an equitable economic system.

Here are some excerpts:.

However, elements of his own party have hampered him in taking bolder trade actions.

This needs to be addressed. His signature effort, his Section steel tariffs, were a debacle. He claimed that steel imports from the EU and Canada were a national security risk.
