ELI5: Is there anything the US government can do about companies moving their wealth offshore to avoid taxes?

I hear stories about companies like Google doing this all the time. Is there anything the US government can do to prevent this from happening, or is it a lost cause?

Yes, but exactly what to do about it has been a consistent debate for very very long time in business and in government, and in the end, not that much has happened to be too impactfull.  There's even a debate about whether these companies really want to bring some or all of their cash back to the US or if they may prefer to hold it overseas instead. 

 Its also not just a US thing either of course, plenty of countries have issues with large companies doing complicated multi-national ventures in order to manipulate their regulations and tax burdens.
