It’s literally the very first capitalist nation. If you have examples of specific incidents of the government expressly backing a specific American business and suppressing another as a direct result of bribes/“donations” I woukd be interested in seeing them.
How about a foreign business? For example, a British company. The US deployed into the Middle East at the behest of British Petroleum after the largest democracy in the region elected a leader who was going to kick BP out of the country for exploiting both the country’s resources and people through horrible wages and working conditions - we’re talking company towns of the 1900s style labor practices. So the US backed an up and coming dictator who destroyed the government on the promise of still allowing BP full control of the country’s oil - Saddam Hussein.
Or how about the US funding companies like Wal-Mart with subsidies while also paying for their workers’ wages because more than 50% of them are below the poverty line while they come into an area and destroy all the local businesses and drain the wealth of the people living in the area.
Or the most recent example, the US passing a law banning a company with a social media platform called TikTok while citing reasons that US based social media companies aren’t held accountable for, despite being just as guilty.
None of your examples are favoring one company over another.
That’s an example that would need a source. Said source would also have to explain why the specific requests from the Saudi Arabian government were ignored in favor of BP’s requests as the common narrative was this was dine because the Saudi pipeline ends in Kuwait where ships are filled. It would further have to demonstrate that these companies were chosen to benefit at the cost of American companies as that would be required to prove that initial claim.
Im not going to hold my breath that you’ll find that source.
