  1. oh no, eastern europe will have to buy from western europe without a middleman because they share a common market

  2. This looks like a very good example of r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT

  3. Seeing how americanophile most of central and eastern Europe is this is pretty cold from the US to fuck them over like that.

  4. FUCKING GPUS WILL BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

  5. I feel like the methodology used was: what European countries can Trump name in one minute?

  6. OMG how will we cope ordering AI chip devices from Spanish Amazon, when we presently order them from

    (checks notes)

    … Spanish Amazon?

  7. I always knew we couldn’t trust those damn Luxemburgians.

  8. Years ago I quit trying to find any logic in my (home) government’s actions, but WTF did Portugal do that we (Spain) did not? Should NATO be amassing troops on the border?

  9. So, why is the eastern part of EU also being targeted? Do they still think we are communist or smth?

  10. Fuck austrian economy. But may God have mercy on the Yankees if I can’t afford a 5000 GPU because of this!

  11. I have some hypotheses on who goes in tier 1. It’s either:

    – Countries that might retaliate with export restrictions on stuff we actually need (whores don’t count: this is Biden policy, not Trump) or

    – Countries where electricity is so expensive they are not going to do AI shit at a competitive scale anyway (any realistic Dutch AI business plan starts with “let’s build a data center in wherever electricity is cheapest”) or

    – Countries where the courts will probably block mass production of fully autonomous weapon systems because of human rights and stuff

  12. Portugal is singled out because of the deals with China IIRC

  13. The problem with us is because there are a lot of (now) Chinese owned companies operating in Portugal. And we are talking about strategic companies, not like frying pans factories.

  14. Isn’t this completely irrelevant? With the common market a chip can arrive in germany and then be shiped to poland with a truck. There is no customs.

  15. This is kinda ridiculous to be honest as Portugal has always has been a USA ally. The guy who decided this browses r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT
