2 repliesSeems like an impossible task to me if I’m honest and also what sort of whiplash will we have if a democrat gets in next time? Surely US business interests don’t particularly want to continue to stir up this sort of sentiment and potentially lose market share?

The issue is also used as a tool for the EU to assert itself even more politically over national states towards full federalisation. In that sense, "escaping American technology" is not the key. If you read the article you'd think the EU is a country and there is barely a mention of any European countries, and still only to lump "France’s AI data centre ambitions" with the EC's initiave (which might actually be reasonable since Macron seems determined to "share" everything...)
