SAN JOSE, Calif. — President Barack Obama has outlined a series of proposals for cracking down on overseas tax havens and eliminating tax breaks for U.S. corporations that do business overseas — a sensitive subject for tech companies that have extensive global operations.

The president did not propose eliminating the current law that allows U.S. companies to defer taxes indefinitely on overseas income, which some industry leaders had feared. But his call for ending some deductions drew negative reaction from groups representing tech and other industries, which argue that the changes would make it more difficult for U.S. companies to compete abroad.
