I have an idea. Tax corporations a reasonable amount and then 10% of their profits will “go to the USA.” You don’t need to do this on a company-by-company basis.

This is Thatcher’s Tory sewage party legacy: privatised pipes, collapsing grids, 25k+ people left dry while shareholders slurp profits. Kent and Sussex get Thatcherism straight from the gutter. Absolute Tory vandalism.

Under President Trump, the EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses. It’s counter to the agency’s mission statement, which says has a core responsibility to protect human health and the environment. nyti.ms/3Loch27

Donald Trump’s imperialism is the latest tool to advance the hegemony of US capital.
Corporations funded Trump and his entourage and their return is mineral and asset grabs, overriding international laws, shelter from competition and making excess profits.
