Brussels tightens rules on US cloud providers as it pushes for tech sovereignty

Brussels is stepping up its game to ensure more competition in cloud services, making Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services follow stricter regulations. This move is part of Europe's broader push for tech sovereignty, aiming to reduce dependency on US tech giants. While it's a bold step for local tech firms, it could ruffle feathers in Washington, sparking a potential trade spat. This decision underscores Europe's commitment to fostering its own tech ecosystem while navigating the complex relationship with the US.
