Not disagreeing, but if Trump hadn't won a second term there really wouldn't be a dire reason to avoid the US. Sure they would be better of choosing a local or at least European provider, but most politicians (naively) didn't see the current hostility coming.
i don't think that's relevant. such sensitive data should be kept in-house and well guarded, not uploaded into public cloud.
Well yes, but it is relevant unless you believe policy makers will only work towards a world that is how it should be. That's why i started with mentioning i don't disagree with you. We surely can blame them for the results of their choices, but i don't think we can play the 'omg i'm totally surprised'-card is what i'm saying.
