Um...let me guess...maybe it's because the big 3 Majors (and even Alaska) all PAY TAXES to support the US Government, which you may recall, is supposed to be "By the People, of the People and FOR THE PEOPLE" of the USA, not the people of any Foreign Nations!
The US Government is supposed to PROTECT and suppoert the Citizens of the USA, not to support a foreign entity that shows up in Washington DC with a boat load of cash for 'Re-election Campaign Contributions' and building hospitals, at the expense of US Jobs.
