no one blinked here
...this delay was to give American companies time to adjust their supply and vendor change...
I am sure that there are people believe that in the USA.. There may even be some in the UK - as you say, some of us voted for Brexit. People here probably won't though.
...this so slanted Euro view...
It's not a "Euro view". It's a view that the USA is not the only place with anything to say. Many/most people here work with technology. We know the USA exists and is a big player in many spheres across the planet. Donald Trump and his friends are doing a lot to change that - just like Boris Johnson and his chums are doing here.
