It's impossible. We live in a global world. How can the US enact a law that a company in Seychelles is forced to follow?

They could easily make laws about how much tax a company has to pay in the US if it wants to do business and earn revenue/profits in the US, regardless of where it's headquartered.

Well I don't know about the US, but the UK enacted new legislation to stop a citizen doing certain (abhorrent) things in countries where it was quite legal to do so.
This was after a huge media outrage about a certain pop star allegedly being a sexual predator in countries where it was legal.
The EU also forced those cookie notices on pages and GPDR about movement of data globally.
Being a holocaust denier will get you arrested in Germany, even if you broke that law in another country.
That's just three examples off the top of my head.
