I can't believe sibling commenters. As a citizen of country X, it should be easy to sympathize with the desire to only do business with other citizens of country X or businesses registered in country X. Why? Because if they wrong me in some way, then I can sue them in a court of law in country X.
All cross-border business is fundamentally import/export and comes with the same risk - that when I am wronged by someone in another country, I have no legal recourse. The exceptions to this rule (like airlines) are such enormous exceptions that there are literally international treaties (e.g. Montreal Convention) to enable it.
Nothing fundamentally US-centric about that point of view.
