Well FATCA is US law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Account_Tax_Compliance...

As for CRS, US doesn't appear in the list of signatories: http://www.oecd.org/tax/exchange-of-tax-information/MCAA-Sig...

FATCA only guarantees the transfer of tax information to the US, and not the other way around. Since the US is the biggest tax haven in the world (for non-US citizens/residents), it's higly doubtful they would ever sign any agreement like that that would geopardize their tax haven status. The banking lobby would never permit (especially under someone like Trump).

These agreements are already being signed. The US signed a tax information exchange to the benefit of Argentina this week.

Do you hace a link/source on this? Was it on the papers? I did not catch it.

The UK, Ireland, Swiss? Any progress?
