Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), Trade Subcommittee Republican Leader Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Nebr.), and Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee Republican Leader Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) issued a statement denouncing the European Commission’s 15 percent corporate minimum tax directive that’s backed by the Biden administration.
