Milliard ou billion?

Billion in French, trillion in Anglo-Saxon countries. And how about in your country? Why not come to an agreement and where does this problem come from? In France, one trillion equals one thousand billion, while in the United States one trillion equals one billion. It may not seem like much, but it can be confusing if, for example, an imprecise journalist tackles a subject involving these elements.
