Does it matter? America doesn't care what other countries do. America is unique, or close to unique in the western world in that:

- It taxes its citizens and permanent residents abroad.

- It doesn't require employers to give vacation time, sick leave, personal leave or parental leave.

- Other nearby countries have to clear incoming travellers with it before they can allow them on a plane to their territory.

Just off the top of my head.
