I think most governments are employing 'protectionist practices'. After all, they're meant to protect the people as best they can whether it be from physical attacks or otherwise. In this case it's economic. I've not noticed any comments in the media or in parliament denegrating the US for doing what they can to help its people.

I think it'd be strange if the US government was more concerned about what the rest of the world thought.

FWIW, banking regulation was just an example. Obviously there are other issues.
