European leaders worry they're too reliant on U.S. tech
European governments may be reconsidering their use of American technology and services, according to a new report in The New York Times. The flashpoint seems to come after President Donald Trump sanctioned Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, over the ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. In response, Microsoft turned off Khan's email address. Casper Klynge, a former diplomat who has also worked for Microsoft, told the NYT that Microsoft's action became 'the smoking gun that many Europeans had been looking for,' pushing them to look at alternative options. (Some ICC workers have reportedly switched over to Swiss email service Proton, for example.) 'If the U.S. administration goes after certain organizations, countries or individuals, the fear is American companies are obligated to comply,' Klynge said. For its part, Microsoft said it has subsequently made policy changes to protect customers similar situations, and it noted that it did not shut down the email accounts of four ICC judges who Trump sanctioned earlier this month. In addition, just this week, CEO Satya Nadella announced new 'sovereign solutions' to protect European institutions.

Nvidia's Huang Reacts to US Crackdown on China Visas
00:00 Obviously, I don't know all of his ideas, but let me tell you about two that are incredible. The first one is utterly visionary, the idea of tariffs being a pillar of of a bold vision to re industrialize, to onshore manufacturing and motivate the world to invest in the United States. And it's just an incredible vision. I think this is going to be a transformative idea for the next century for us. We're all in on the idea where we're setting up plants and encouraging our partners from around the world to invest the United States. And we have a lot of stuff going on. And so I'm very excited about that. The second the second major idea is to rescind the air diffusion rule, recognizing that this isn't about limiting American technology, but this is about accelerating American stocks around the world to make sure that before it's too late, that the world builds on on American stocks during this extraordinary time, the era. And so these two these two initiatives are completely visionary and it's going to be transformative for America. JENSEN In the time that you and I have been on air having this conversation, some news is broken from US Secretary of State Rubio, who has said that the US will begin revoking some Chinese student visas. What I wanted to ask you is that with the US government limits on foreign student visas, how does that impact a company like NVIDIA? I think about the size, but also composition of your engineering talent here in California and elsewhere in the United States. I believe the administration still feels very strongly about about the incredible importance of immigration. Look, I'm an immigrant. I know many immigrants that came in can't United States to to build a great life. And many of us many of us have contributed greatly to the technology industry and in the United States. I believe that that's going to have to continue. Remember, remember, you know, people from all over the world want to come to United States. This is such an extraordinary country with such incredible opportunities. We want the brightest to come here. We don't want we don't want others to you know, we don't want everybody to be able to come here. And there should be there should be rules. And and but nonetheless, for the ones that really can make a contribution, we want to make a difference and we want to make it possible for them to come here and and bring their great ideas, bring their great intellect and help us build a great America. And so I think I think the administration is all in on that. And I don't think anything that they've said changes that.
