Tech CEOs in Europe are calling for the EU to have a "Europe-first" mindset ahead of a Donald Trump presidency in the U.S., with the latter being very vocal about putting America first above everything else. The executives wish to push back and scale down the reliance on U.S. for critical technologies.
In October, during the Presidential election campaign, Trump said the EU would be paying a "big price" for not buying sufficient American exports if he becomes the next president.
