Yeah but you make it sound like that's a bad thing for the US. It's not.

Many of those companies employ our workers, many assemble or make their products here, many of those companies' shareholders are US citizens, and they all pay taxes in some form or another to the US government (albeit with plenty of loopholes).

The US derives more overall benefit by buying the product that brings the most value for the money, regardless of the company's origin.
