Global tax is complicated. A reprisal tariff regime would be way way way more complicated. The US doesn't want to be in a position where it's levying 50% tariffs on Guinness because Ireland's corporate tax rate is 12.5%. How do you know that tariff is fair and would the WTO even recognize uneven tax rates as a sanctionable offense?

This is a carrot vs stick approach.

Hmmm makes me question the benefit of the WTO.
