The massive economic stimulus package being debated in the US Senate this week has a hugely controversial condition attached.
It is called "Buy America" and it means that all of the projects financed by the government's $800bn (£567bn) bailout should favour American iron and steel. It could, perhaps, even mandate American preference for all "manufactured goods".
Could this be the start of a new American protectionism? Even a new trade war?
