Galileo is a strategic asset in case of dispute with the US. It is not in a competition with GPS, it simply has to function as designed and continue to operate independently of US desires. The US objected to the construction of the Galileo system.

The US did not object to the concept of Galileo, the US objected to the EU's choice of frequency, which made it impossible to jam Galileo without jamming GPS. The EU changed the design to avoid this, and I am not aware of any follow-up objections.
