Yes, Bruna, it is a mistake to frame Trump's massive policy changes as part of the ancient "regulation vs. deregulation" debate of the 1980s and 90s. Trump's tariffs and export controls are extremely regulatory.</div>

The idea that he can impose 50% taxes on imports from Brazil because he likes Bolsonaro and doesn't like Lula is not "deregulation," it's regulation for economic nationalism of the worst sort. Tariffs are taxes and they often come with "domestic content" regulations
that specify in detail what country different components of a machine must come from.</div>

What Europe & BRICS countries need to understand is that their own attempts to be economic nationalists makes it inevitable that the U.S. will respond in the same way; e.g., if Europe regulates U.S. platforms for tech nationalist/digital sovereignty reasons
then they can't complain too much when U.S. nationalist politicians respond with the same tactics and slap taxes and regulations on European auto manufacturers. </div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Except that deregulation does not necessarily go against open, free Internet and BRICS are notorious in undertaking anti democratic and authoritarian actions, even if they say nice things in their AI action plans. We should never
forget that. Especially when our allies increasingly act like BRICS (the bricks quality they use is amazing, not only it doesn’t get infiltrated, some find themselves defending and copying it!) <br>
