All US companies doing business internationally are impacted by US trade laws (eg; sanctions, trade embargoes), I believe. Eg; you're not allowed to sell stuff

  They can also bend those restrictions to non-US companies wanting to do business within the US. Just because the US embargoes/sanctions the sell of Iranian oil, or the sell of any nation's oil to North Korea, doesn't mean that it is illegal for other nation's companies to do so (unless their gov't also has similar restrictions). Here comes the but... the US then makes it illegal for those companies to do business within the US just because they were friendly to people the US doesn't like.
