    This was probably necessary.

    America is incredibly protectionist. It favours whatever it regards as its own far more than the UK or EU.

    The clearest gambling example was in relation to poker back in 2006, and the passing of various laws in the USA.

    Partypoker did the right thing, and pulled out of the US market-it was the biggest poker operator at that point. Whereas Stars, being a Canadian company at the time, took the commercial decision to ignore the legislation for a period to establish dominance.

    The US promptly derided Party for having an Indian-born owner at the time, and foreign roots. Whereas Stars was allowed to break US Law for long enough to take over.

    US gambling laws are changing rapidly, and UK firms have spent many years Americanising their products, whether by changing listing or investing in existing American Casino groups.

    This goes far deeper than "Making America Great Again"-the US promotes Companies that meet its own insular criteria.
