the chancellor, rishi sunak said that it will mean firms pay the right tax in the right places . earlier i spoke to paul monaghan, chief executive of the fair tax foundation a uk based non profit organisation that accredits companies which pay their fair share of tax. i asked him if he agreed with the chancellor that the deal achieved the principle of fairness. i don t think we re at fairness but we re certainly, following today, are looking at a fairer tax system. i don t want to belittle what happened today, it is a really significant move that will raise substantial sums of money. what would it take to make it fair in your estimation? i know you want the g20, when they meet, to go further than the g7. today was a great start but 15% can be raised to 21% and there is a lot of consensus around that and i think we are likely to see the g77 nations, the developing world,
and author of not for the faint of heart. lessons in courage, power, and per sis assistance. good to see you, ambassador. i m sure you watched this press conference with great interest and there s a lot of global news to deconstruct after it and the g77. let me start with iran. because president macron would like to set up a meeting with president trump and president rouhani. trump said he would be open if the circumstances were correct or right? what do you see the chances of that happening? did you take anything positive away from the statements? oh, i certainly think that at the g7 there were signals, as you point out, chris, from all sides. and certainly president macron wants to see the meeting happen with the french, the germans, the european union, russia, and china who are partners in this playing a role in this, france, of course, and great britain.
