2wolves,
I think this is getting ready for the trade wars that are on the horizon between US and Euro corporations.
You may already be aware of the other brewing conflict--that Euro nations took us to the WTO for our actions in regards to steel trade.
This seems to be gearing up for an exhibit of which corporations have the most clout. That is, if they try to punish us for our tariffs can we force them back into submission by canceling trade outright?
That is my read as to the logical explanation of this policy.
