Belgian here: I'm moving away from US products and services, wherever possible. My close contacts are doing the same. And have you seen the Canadians? They are at another level!

Also, buying US military equipment will definitely need to be reconsidered, if you look at how fast your position can switch. Tesla and Starlink, good luck getting any new orders outside of US.

This is not some temporary one off, this is party moving away from US products (good luck getting us back once we found a good replacement), and party the idea that US can turn on you with a single stupid election.

This damage will take a long time to recover from. We really consider this a friends betrayal.



I don't think a lot of Americans realize that this might be the real end of the post WW economic/military dominance for the US.

The world has never been less confident in the US. Much of our world dominance was based on protection and inclusion in our economic dominance.
