Rubio literally sent out a memo in december if I remember right saying to aggressively counter any tech sovereignty pushes, as the trump admin wants access to all foreigner data for AI integration and "national security" of the USA. They want to hold/have access to it, cause they like using it as part of their AI surveillance and snooping regime. Again, if I remember right, that was circulated to embassies and lobby firms etc etc.
So any news story about how hard it is, is likely a US influence campaign. Using their oligarch control of media to magnify issues, think tanks publishing unprovoked 'white papers' that support the US narrative, and on and on.
Not necessarily. To build such systems is hard, they are not simple systems you can put togheter in a couple of weeks.
What is true is that it is difficult to distinguish between a true warning about the difficult to build such systems and a US influence campaign.
