- •The Trump framework is read as "competition through markets" versus European "competition through standards"
- •The École de Guerre Économique diagnoses structural imbalance between US and EU models
BIASES
French regulatory exceptionalism: treating standards as an instrument of power rather than examining their competitive costsOmission of self-appraisal regarding the limited outcomes of the February 2025 Paris AI SummitGeopolitical intellectualisation that obscures the absence of concrete industrial competitiveness
