It is a relatively easy language to learn and use, especially for people with a basic understanding of programming concepts. It's a widely-used language in the field of data management and is based on simple, English-like commands. SQL uses a straightforward syntax that is easy to understand and learn. Many people find it to be a user-friendly language, and it is often used as an introduction to programming for people who are new to the field. It shouldn't be confusing to anyone who has been programming for decades.

The statement also includes a WHERE clause, which specifies a condition that must be met in order for the rows to be included in the results. In this case, the condition is that the value in the "Country" column must be equal to 'USA'. Therefore, this line of code would retrieve all rows from the "Customers" table where the value in the "Country" column is 'USA'. The results of this SELECT statement would include all of the columns from the "Customers" table for each row that meets the specified condition.
