Since when Accenture is European? It’s this because these companies are not Palantir?

Accenture is operating from Ireland, legally speaking. It may be in American hands, serving American shareholders and American interests, and it may have been started as a European front for an American business, but it's technically an EU company.

I don't think those kinds of details matter to a government looking to start yet another trade war, though. The list is based on the question "what legally European tech companies do business in America, sorted by income".

By this logic, FAANG is also EU

Although it originated in the US its headquarters are in Ireland. Probably solely for tax reasons.

Similarly, what's DHL doing there?

I mean, I know it's headquartered in Germany. But why is it targeted here? Is it because it was once American?
