This really needs to get widely seen. It is indeed hopeful, in a good way.
It’s pretty wild, because this is genuinely great politics and great policy. It’s weird that folks haven’t realized this and acted on it yet. Fingers crossed.
I wish there was a text transcript of this, I will check the video out after the holidays though.
TLDR: US forced everyone to pass anti-circumvention laws by threatening tariffs. Now that the US has unilaterally imposed tariffs on everyone, why not repeal those laws?
Also it doesn’t really matter how big your economy is, it’s like a first mover incentive. So small countries who were relying on aid via USAID and various other soft power schemes that DOGE cut have a huge incentive now to be the first to create the tools and markets.
Thank you!
I did check the site, but I missed it.
