Have you seen our President? Minor conveniences are what trigger him into launching full blown DOJ investigations, wars, and economic disaster. If he realizes he can just "turn off" the EU, oh, he will threaten that on Truth Social tonight in a rant about how they should make a deal or else.

I'd like to see if he can be convinced into going after Google and effectively stopping remote attestation. One can certainly dream...

An open threat like that would be the best case scenario, as it would (hopefully) cause a reaction in EU countries trying to get rid of this yoke. Instead usually it happens through backroom dealings, or just the services being a nuisance to competitors while being helpful to friendly companies, and thus the target country is drained of its resources and economic independence, slow enough to not provoke retaliation.

With the exception of the current US administration, hostile countries and corporations try to appear non-hostile when possible.

Friendly advice: please don't capitalize random common nouns like the president does. It's a marker of one's affinity toward precision (among other things).
