What we experienced yesterday is not a surprise, it is the reckoning for years of hesitation. The US government has proven what we have long been warning: AI is strategic infrastructure. Those who do not control it will be controlled by it. We do not call for another strategy process. We call for a summit. Now. Europe must prioritise European solutions to guarantee our technological sovereignty and protect our global competitiveness.AI Verified source (Jun 14, 2026)

ai_verified: The quote clearly supports Europe developing its own AI infrastructure: it calls AI 'strategic infrastructure,' warns that 'those who do not control it will be controlled by it,' and says 'Europe must prioritise European solutions' to ensure 'technological sovereignty.' While it does not explicitly name US cloud providers, it clearly implies support for reducing dependence on US-controlled AI infrastructure.

The quote strongly implies support: it says "AI is strategic infrastructure," warns that "Those who do not control it will be controlled by it," and says "Europe must prioritise European solutions to guarantee our technological sovereignty." That supports building sovereign EU AI infrastructure, even though "US cloud providers" is implied rather than named explicitly.
