Companies who want to operate in a country have to follow that country's laws and stick by that country's regulations. That's why Apple have to make islands appear bigger than they are for China reasons.
US companies can't just operate the same as they do in the US in other countries where people seem to have more protection from malpractice than in the US. Certainly from the outside looking in.
The US can only take measures in the US on EU companies that are breaking US law and/or regulations. It's not tit for tat like tariffs which are clearly arbitrary.
No if we had a decent system for making the likes of Amazon, Facebook, Apple, et al, actually pay taxes in the countries they clearly do business in I think that would be better than one off fines, however big.
