AMSTERDAM, March 19 (Reuters) - The Netherlands’ parliament on Tuesday approved a series of motions calling on the government to reduce dependence on U.S. software companies, including by creating a cloud services platform under Dutch control.
While such initiatives have foundered in the past due to a lack of viable European alternatives, lawmakers said changing relations with the United States under the presidency of Donald Trump have given the issue fresh urgency.
This is a smart move for the Dutch, but it’s gonna cost USA firms massive contracts. This isn’t good for our economy. Orange idiot is doing irreparable harm with only yes-people around him.
