From France to Germany to Canada, governments are recalibrating their security, technology, and defense policies around one unspoken reality: America can't be counted on… Donald Trump is doing something to America that no foreign adversary has ever managed, something Putin's been dreaming about for decades: he's convincing our oldest and closest allies — countries we fought wars to defend and liberate, and with whom we share a democratic system of government — that the United States can't be trusted. For example, France's government just announced it's ripping U.S. videoconferencing platforms — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and others — out of its government offices nationwide and replacing them with a new French-created system called "Visio." That's roughly 2.5 million French public employees who'll no longer be using American digital products because the French have concluded that U.S. tech — and the Silicon Valley billionaires' pathetic fealty to Trump, bringing him bribes and gifts and groveling in front of him — is a national security risk.
