Today’s “Word of the Day” is “beggar-my-neighbour” and it is an adjective meaning “relating to a policy that seeks benefits for one country at the expense of others”.
Example Sentence: The principle of the agreement (by the G7 group) is that multinationals would have to pay a minimum tax rate of at least 15% in each country they operate. The agreement, which reverses several decades of beggar-thy-neighbour policies, is aimed at multinationals that have played countries against one another to drive down the level of tax they pay.
