But we haven't seen that.

And you would have thought the kind of broad trust of the Trump administration is to reduce corporate taxes.

There seems to be very limited appetite to increase them.

So in many respects, this is really about a debate the United States has to have with itself about how it wants to tax US companies.

And so far, there's very few voices

sort of saying, you know, those things should be, or you should tax US companies more aggressively.

Yes, I think that's definitely been true historically.

If you think of multinationals that are here in Ireland, they're not really here to serve the American market at all.

They're typically serving the European, maybe Middle East, Africa market.

Maybe they might sort of the rest of the world outside of the United States.

So they're not really exporting back into the United States.

Now the exception to that would be the new weight loss drugs that we're seeing which are being exported into the United States.

So there are effectively profits and exports relating to US consumer spending.

You know, when you think of the Trump administration, their kind of concern has been US companies moving from the United States to Mexico and then exporting back into the US.

That really hasn't been a feature of Ireland.

I think the weight loss drugs, the pharmaceutical sector, that's kind of been something that's materialised over the past couple of years.

But in the main, you're certainly right that, I mean, if you think of the tech companies...

most of the multinationals here, they're not exporting to the United States, it's to the rest of the world or serving the EU single market.

Well, unfortunately, there has been focus on this already amongst a range of commentators.
