Quote	"EU ambassador to the U.S. John Bruton warned Congress that the "Buy American" provisions will damage the U.S. as well as world trade by building protectionist sentiment around the world. Even a watered-down provision "Buy American" provision passed "in a manner consistent with U.S. obligations under international agreements" is still bad news, Bruton said. It may not violate treaties, he said, but it's protectionism just the same."
