    Look at the Spanish banks: they all use cloud services provided by Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM. Secure comms? Probably GlobalProtect or similar.

    Trump could turn off the banking system with the flip of a switch (yes, this is just a literary figure).

    Until the European companies take seriously the digital sovereignty issue and switch to (or create) European alternatives the US can wreck our economies. Of course, then we could go nuclear and blow up the US treasury bonds. But it is clearly a lose-lose situation.

    I fully support the Spanish government (and, keep in mind, I’m a Catalan secessionist!) but the situation has to be threaded carefully. Very carefully.
