If the U.S. wants to make itself uncompetitive with high corporate tax rates, that is America's problem.

"Ireland's headline 12.5% corporate tax rate — much lower than most industrialized nations — has been key to attracting many multinationals to the country."

Can you guess what the _global_ in the name means?

I mean it's not called federal global minimum corporate tax rate.

No idea why you're getting downvoted. This makes perfect sense. Especially for up and coming economies, they almost need to resort to these schemes. Anything "global" that doesn't take into account details of specific realities is usually a bad idea.
