European leaders worry that they depend on American technology

European governments may reconsider their use of American technology and services, according to A new report in the New York Times.

The flash point appears to come after President Donald Trump Karim Khan, chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, met with the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest orders for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Secretary Yuf Gallant.

In response, Microsoft has extinguished the Khan’s email address. Casper Cling, a former diplomat who also worked for Microsoft, told Nni that Microsoft has become “a smoking pistol that many Europeans were looking for”, pushing them to do so Look at alternative options. (According to what was reported, some of the international criminal courts moved to the Swiss email service proton, for example.)

“If the American administration pursues some organizations, countries or individuals, the fear is that American companies are obligated to comply,” said Cling.

For its part, Microsoft said that she had then made policy changes to protect the similar customer positions, and indicated that she had not closed the e -mail accounts of four ICC judges who imposed Trump earlier this month. In addition, this week only, CEO Satia Nadella announced new “sovereignty solutions” to protect European institutions.
