The announcement came a day after the two countries appeared to strike a temporary truce in a trans-Atlantic spat, after President Emmanuel Macron agreed to suspend a French tax on American technology giants in exchange for a postponement of threatened retaliatory tariffs on French goods by the Trump administration.

Any tax framework developed by the O.E.C.D must meet certain standards, Mr. Le Maire said. “We want the basis to be solid, credible and fair,” he said, later adding that, “There is still some work to be done.”

Further talks were also needed among European nations, he said. If a deal could be reached at the O.E.C.D., he said, that would be preferable either to European countries acting individually or as a group to impose taxes.
