if you have ever worked in some countries, 'commissions' are a way of life, if you don't, you might aswell not bother trying to trade with them, ie, in this case, just let the Yanks take all the work.
At what point you call it a bribe is semantics.
No, I don't like working this way, but it's their country and that's how they work.
Being all goodie two shoes about it is economic suicide, and I'll let you work out how to explain to all the redundant airbus workers (and the rest of the support industries workers).
