The European Union has finally mustered the courage to take action against the giant corporations of the USA. Until now constrained by Trump’s threats, the EU has decided to replace US technology companies with domestic ones.
– According to the EU Parliament’s decision, Europe is moving towards digital sovereignty to reduce its heavy reliance on US technology giants. This aims to both reduce dependence on US companies and support local companies by giving them new opportunities. More importantly, it’s a show of force against Trump. Since US companies control the USA, any pressure, tax increases, or blockades applied to them could silence Trump. The US derives its power not from Trump, but from global companies. The European Union has finally recognized this reality.
US providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud dominate 70-80% of Europe’s cloud and digital infrastructure market.
Among the latest EU efforts is a European Parliament resolution dated January 2026, which prioritizes non-US options in public procurement and creates a “European stake.” Let’s see if Trump will be able to continue his tariff threats after this decision.
