WASHINGTON, Oct 27 — President Joe Biden escapes bruising political turmoil at home for the more convivial world of diplomacy at twin summits in Europe this week — but the experience could be just as frustrating.

That same day, Biden will have one of his most closely watched meetings, with French President Emmanuel Macron. Biden will also take credit for an OECD-brokered agreement that sets a global minimum corporate tax of 15 per cent — a plan aimed at leveling the playing field for governments competing to attract international corporations.
