TLDR: US forced everyone to pass anti-circumvention laws by threatening tariffs. Now that the US has unilaterally imposed tariffs on everyone, why not repeal those laws?
Also it doesn't really matter how big your economy is, it's like a first mover incentive. So small countries who were relying on aid via USAID and various other soft power schemes that DOGE cut have a huge incentive now to be the first to create the tools and markets.
Thank you!
