"It's no secret that if Europeans had a vote in last November's election [2004], few would have cast theirs for George W. Bush. Across the Atlantic, the president is viewed with great suspicion; even his February [2005] 'charm offensive' tour of European capitals and his April visit to Vatican City failed to thaw the chill. And Europeans don't reserve their scepticism and hostility for Bush and his administration--the feelings reach far beyond politics. Dismissed by the Bush administration as 'old Europe' and unable to slow the march to war, Western Europeans have focused their ire on the government's nearest representatives: American businesspeople." (ACROSS THE BOARD) This article reveals that U.S. businesses trying to reach an international marketplace are having difficulties making the sale due to anti-American attitudes resulting from U.S. politics and policies.
