The US withdraws support for Pillar II: protective measures expected

On 20 January 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order relating to Pillar II (link). It is no surprise that the new administration, as part of the broader trade policy, withdraws the support of the US for the Global Tax Deal's Pillar II. More interesting, the Secretary of Treasury is tasked with proposing protective measures against countries that do not comply with US tax treaties or have in place, or are likely to have in place, perceived extraterritorial taxes that affect US companies. These seem to include countries that would apply the UTPR (Undertaxed Profits Rule) to profits of US group companies. While the way the new administration announced the order and measures seems to be strongly political, the compatibility of the (extraterritorial) UTPR with tax treaties has been questioned before.
