Speaking as an American—I think a silver lining on recent tariff moves is that they may foster anti-American sentiment in e.g. Europe, which then makes Europeans more instinctively resistant to America’s recklessness when it comes to AI. I think it could be really high-impact for EAs in e.g. the Netherlands to try and kickstart a conversation about how ASML may enable an American AI omnicide.
Never let a good crisis go to waste!
Probably worth red-teaming this suggestion, though. It would be bad if the MAGA crowd were to polarize in opposition, and embrace AI boosterism in order to stick it to Europe. Perhaps this effect could be mitigated if the discussion mostly happened in the Dutch language?
