So, they have inside knowledge about how dangerous we can be?
If I was in charge of any nation, I would want sovereignty over critical technology. I’d be suspicious of the US, China, Europe, Israel, etc. Even though some of those are my allies, I still would want to keep them firmly in their own borders and have critical production and knowledge within my own country.
The Trump administration has caused a lot of countries to question their reliance on the US, but the reality is, they should have always questioned that.

Interesting article, but a whataboutism. The geopolitical situation was also very much different 2012-2014.

I think Trumps interest in the Arctic like Greenland is what created this uncertainty.

I am convinced he wants it because it looks huge on a flat map, almost all of which use the Mercator projection (which preserves shape, not area)
if you want to see the real size: Peter's projection preserves area, not shape
Also the recent US National Security Strategy is worrying. Apparently in the longer version:
>Trump’s vision is to dump the G7 as a key forum for international diplomacy. The NSS proposes creating a new body of major powers, one that isn’t hemmed in by the G7’s requirements that the countries be both wealthy and democratically governed. In place of the G7, the unpublished NSS talks of a Core 5 composed of the US, China, Russia, India and Japan. Europe is not included. (https://www.counterfire.org/article/trumps-secret-version-of...)

Kinda ironic coming from the country that keeps trying to get chat control passed in the EU.
