House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (OK-01) released the following statement in support of the G7 global tax agreement. Hern led the House Ways and Means Committee’s Global Competitiveness Task Force last Congress, with a key focus on international tax.

“Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Bessent’s leadership on the world stage, we are moving in the right direction to protect American tax sovereignty and American multinationals,” said Rep. Hern. “This is an issue I’ve been working on for more than three years, meeting with OECD officials both in Paris and in DC to stress the importance of Congress’ role in any tax agreement involving our country. The Biden Administration stubbornly advanced the unpopular Pillar 2 plan despite bipartisan objections from Congress.”

Hern continued, “Today’s announcement is a tremendous step forward. America First does not mean America Alone. Good tax policy at the international level can lift us all, without penalizing American taxpayers.”
