Yes it is sad, but the stakes are too high to ignore. I don't know where you live but in Europe most people are very disappointed in recent actions by the US. Any decision, from small to large, now should factor in if it benefits Europe or the US. It is a matter of being reciprocal.

Well the US stopped being allies of Europe/Canada, now they are merely partners. And pretty unstable ones. So it seems fair to take it into account.
