Yes it should be fine. What goes around comes around. Our Canadian Algoma steel was bought up by an India company then later to USA so USA shouldn't be surprised if they have to sell to other parties too given all our respective trade relations. I would even hope with a Japanese company the quality would go up

So first response is correct against Hamas. But it is going too far now Israel too much now too. A cease fire and a two state solution looking further away by the day
