Every, single one would have rightfully said, "piss-off". This is a USA predatory advance into the autonomy & laws of other countries. What's next? Do "this" (whatever the USA says), or "we bomb you"? I mean, really-- what's to stop them? H*ll, the whole world falls on their back at the threat of losing some money...I'm wondering the actual costs to attempt compliance, if it wouldn't be cheaper to NOT agree & send the USA back to the drawing board to find a way to track their own damned citizens? The whole thing is frightening.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082827089547846075noreply@blogger.com
