As far as I know, in general, the taxes paid to a foreign country are a credit toward taxes due in the United States. This is also true for your state taxes, i.e. taxes paid in another state are a credit toward you state taxes.

If the foreign tax rate was 20% and the US rate was 35%, they'd still owe the 15% difference to bring the profits home.

Yes that is true and clarification , but I am objecting to the term “double taxation”
