America: You need to be more self sufficient and not lean on us so much!
Europe: <launches European payment initiative>
America: NOT LIKE THAT!!!
What a ridiculous strawman. A huge chunk of Americans are also calling for the end of the Visa/MasterCard duopoly and would love to jump on board to this.
Just to add a little bit more context, European interbanking initiatives are older than Trump insanity. What we are seeing at play is a slow decades-old strategy finally bearing fruits. Though Trump is for sure a factor pushing for adoption.
>America: NOT LIKE THAT!!!
Can you post a source supporting this?
