It's worse than that. The damage is far more permanent. That you could even go this far tells the world you can't be trusted. No one wants to partner with a country where all your plans are one election away from disaster.

Like microsoft won't respect sovereignty, means the world will push them out. Same for all US tech.

You've gone from partner to customer for generations. US soft power is gone in a puff of smoke. There is nothing left but the rubble of realpolitik.

tells the world you can't be trusted> It's not that they don't want to, but clearly there aren't the guardrails in the system to stop the corruption and abuse. The next administration may be more favourable but the sheets been pulled back, and without systemic reform, it won't be possible to go on trust alone.

oh corps are a totally different thing. yeah every country should be massively taxing and regulating. if they want to get rid of the us bs they need to start with no more lazzie affair capitalism.

The bigger danger is that it is American companies that operate a lot of the technological and financial backbone of the world. That market is going to disappear as other countries implement their own sovereignty measures.

Private companies shouldn't have monopolies. Let alone of national infrastructure. We have let them have monopolies of international infrastructure! Operating systems, office software, search, you name it. It's so bad, most people can't even see the monopolies. They can't tell the difference between standard and monopoly.
