flag Europe is replacing U.S. tech with local alternatives over data security and sovereignty concerns.

flag European nations, including France, Austria, and Germany, are reducing reliance on U.S. tech by phasing out platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom, replacing them with domestic or open-source alternatives to enhance data security and digital sovereignty. flag These moves follow growing concerns over U.S. legal jurisdiction, data privacy, and strained transatlantic relations, notably after the failed U.S. attempt to acquire Greenland. flag Meanwhile, foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds remain high, with experts warning that large-scale sales could destabilize U.S. debt markets and spike interest rates.
