An American Double-Standard

When it comes to Canadian beef the U.S. will still not allow it all into the country. Even the calves are being fought hard by American beef producers. On the other hand, Japan has restricted American beef for much the same reasons with one exception, the Yanks are demanding that Japan remove the restrictions even though they have been in place for a much shorter time than the restrictions that the U.S. placed on Canada. That's not negotiating, it's bullying, plain and simple. It's also a classic example of "do as I say, not as I do". This type of foreign policy can only result in one thing, sooner or later everyone resents you, including your friends.
