We're only dependent on American services because we trusted America

Trump has ruined that, so now we'll be moving to build our own alternatives

We are taking our time about it and not being consistent. For example some European governments are moving away from US cloud systems, but they are also pushing apps that require American devices to work. There is very little movement of the private sector away from the US so much of the economy economy remains dependent on the US. The end result will be government clouds not dependent on the US, but that can only be used using US controlled devices, and a private sector still just as dependent.

What exactly American services did to you that stopped to trust them?
