The US will absolutely panic once this starts to spread.

They will have no control, and no eyes on what Europe does with its money.

Power to the EU.

No doubt they are lobbying hard to bring this to the attention of Jabba the Trump.

Now UK has to step up and join

    Brazil and India already have their own systems which are up and running.

    Yeah, I was shocked to learn how dependant EU was on American technology.

    I think it boils down to national pride. Both Brazil and India took pride in making their own payments system. Eu was pretty chill until uncle Donny came.

    It's like, don't try to fix what's not broken, and Trump broke it. Though honestly, they should have started earlier, I think as early as Trump's first term.

    That won't fly. The EU is a massive market for Apple and Google they won't want to lose.

    But hey, I'd love those monopolies to burn too, so be great to see the problem of them highlighted like that.

    Digital sovereignty is suddenly a hot topic.
