What do you mean, concretely?

It seems to me like other countries are cautiously responding to threats of invasion and sudden tariffs. They did not wake up one day and randomly decided to divest from the United States.

The government overreach part I cannot comment on. From my limited point of view I see ICE and overturning Roe vs Wade, but I don't pay attention to US domestic politics.

I refer to two things:

* Internal to the US citizens are responding FAFO to the US Federal governments recent actions against specific states, and secondly to

* the "FAFO" comment made by @nixass above who appears to be European (by an extremely brief glance at comment history made once two hours ago).

I assume that comment refers to many countries now exploring other options for trade in response to the US actions since January 2025. Other allied relationships are also morphing in the face of the US no longer being seen as a reliable stable partner.

Oh that makes a lot more sense. My initial read was almost the polar opposite of this.
