Even then, the US largely resists regulation, even if that is somewhat changing. You can look in terms of essential infrastructure, manufacturing and technology overall beyond software. The U.S. largely has lost control over most of it. And while I'm not in favor of isolation, I find that purely from a security perspective, the US should be capable and in a position to fulfill at least half of its' infrastructure needs domestically, and should be optimized to do so.

IMO this should include food, medications, communications and physical infrastructure needs. Not every nation is large or vast enough to do this, the US emphatically is and should take advantage of it. Every nation should work towards the best interest of its' citizens needs, and negotiate with others in good faith assuming they are doing the same.

I think that globalist and corporatist mindsets are dangerous in general. that's just my take.

Edit: to be clear, I absolutely accept and encourage the EU and EU governments in terms of exercising and increasing a position of independence and sovereignty... I'm only pointing out that the US position isn't exactly as strong as it probably should be either.
