Yep dollar for dollar and roll out the digital services act

Unfortunately, the Berne convention and successors weren't imposed on us by the US. In fact, they signed on later than we did. Copyright reform is a worthwhile and needed thing, but breaking ties with the US isn't going to make it more likely on its own.
