In a late-night social media post, the president said he would impose “large scale” tariffs if Canada and the European Union allied to “do economic harm” to America.
If EU really wants to hurt the US economy, then they need to start taxing/fining US tech service like Whatsapp, Netflix, Youtube, AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.
What are the non-US alternatives to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.? Boycotting the USA needs to include switching from these, and from Visa, MasterCard, etc. Otherwise even when we switch away from US services, underneath the surface the money and data are still finding their way to the USA.
