I think it's important to frame it correctly: US companies have been persistently acting illegally in Europe. Avoiding taxes (e.g. Amazon's Project Goldcrest) to undercut competitors, mishandling data for profit, and then abusing market dominant positions to prevent European competitors from rising up; forcing those potential competitors to sell to US firms. You're right that it's probably too late to reverse all of this economic damage that the US has intentionally caused. It's a difficult problem for the world.

Ah yes, poor innocent Europe that is so distraught over the economic damage US companies did that checks notes Ireland sued the EU on behalf of Apple to prevent it from having to pay taxes. You're right. You should frame it correctly and take ownership over the complete and utter regulatory failures of European countries to support and nurture local businesses.
