It is, but it's a dodge based on money from products manufactured and sold outside of the US, owned by a company not in the US, so it's still not clear how the US could legally insert themselves into there.

Isn't Apple Ireland owned by the US company?

What is Samsung's foreign business activity? Cause it doesn't pay US income taxes on it, ever.
