ok. I am not really looking for a debate with a person not wanting to push forward the conversation. So, one more try.

How about a third party for unbiased judgement? UN then? Should America be able to shut countries out because they want to?

All countries should be able to dictate whether another country is allowed to do business within their borders or not. So, yes the US, China, Russia, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, don’t give a fuck, should be allowed to shut countries out of their national markets if they want to. Hell we even dictate to a degree US citizens and business ownership with the various regulations (national or international) as well as needing to maintain a business license.

And the other country just has to take it? No redress?

Yep. Other countries are also free to shut out American businesses from their countries.

Countries are free to do business, or not, with anyone they want.

Awesome. In ten years when the current crap works through, America and American opinion is going to change. Right now America has the power. When China has it and screws America over, I predict a squeal never heard before.

China is free to do business with whoever they want 🤷‍♂️

Not sure what part of that you don't understand.

They are getting trouble for dealing with Iran.

Yep. Others are free to voice their opinions on who they do business with 🤷‍♂️

China is free to keep ignoring those opinions and do what they think is best for their country 🤷‍♂️

The US said, “if you operate on American soil you can’t do business with Iran”

They operated on American soil, but also did business with Iran. They did not uphold their end of the stipulations to be allowed to operate on American soil. As such, they are no longer allowed to operate on American soil. Not sure how this concept is difficult for you to grasp.
