Trump has created an “Office of American Innovation” and an “American Technology Council” to promote an America First economic policy.
Germany's SAP (Novell) (competitor to USA Oracle / Sun Microsystems and Apple) stated USA would be left behind without euro hackers providing them answers like Android phones and copy-lefted networking gear.
"Apple’s CEO Tim Cook argued that “the U.S. should have the most modern government in the world and today it doesn’t. It’s great to see the effort that Jared is putting in in working on things that will pay back in five and 10 and 20 years.” That transformation should be with technology from Google, Microsoft, Apple and Oracle, not outsources to foreign competitors like Germany’s Deutsche Telecom, China’s Alibaba, Russia’s Yandex and SAP." (and countless, and i mean countless, others)
Meanwhile, two decades before, people sued Clinton.gov for allowing government purchases of imports merely by "price quote", which they accused was using taxpayer money to harm USA innovation money (tax money). It's a long debate, hotly legal, between democrats using taxes to "make friends", and Republicans who think: sure do that with your money not the tax payor's.
