      EU has literally threatened USA that EU could stop respecting American IP in a trade war.
      Trump and USA are getting what they asks for. Just not in the good way.

      No if we really want to do that, we’ll jack up the price of electricity. The US imports a lot of electricity from Canada and it doesn’t have any other sources for it. US electricity demand has been skyrocketing due to data centre usage, so a massive price hike will grind the whole Al economy to a halt.

        This might be overselling it. Only some provinces produce/export and only some states benefit, mostly regional and mostly northern states. There would certainly be an impact, especially short term, but claiming it hits their entire infrastructure is a stretch.
