L'analisi della posizione negativa di Trump sui trattati TTIP e TTP mette in luce il loro ruolo atteso: mantenere e rafforzare la preminenza degli USA nel mercato unico del commercio digitale. Evidenzia anche una opportunità per l'UE di dare forma a un mercato dominato da compagnie US. <http://blogs.cfr.org/cyber/2016/11/15/what-a-trump-administration-means-for-...> With Donald Trump’s victory, the prospects for digital trade have dimmed. This development owes much to the hostility towards trade that Trump brings to the presidency. But it also involves shifts more fundamental than Trump’s rejection of trade agreements. The rise of digital commerce is rooted in the stability provided by international trade agreements, the global reach of the internet, and the innovations associated with digital technologies. U.S. leadership and global engagement underpinned each of these sources of digital trade’s growth. Now, Trump’s election combines with other forces afoot around the world to threaten the future of digital trade. The internet’s emergence as a global communications platform coincided in the mid-1990s with the remaking of the international economic order through the adoption of regional trade agreements (such as NAFTA), the WTO’s establishment, and the proliferation of bilateral trade and investment treaties. This web of agreements opened markets for goods and services, including those emerging from internet-based commercial activities. The internet’s global reach and the economic incentives provided by e-commerce fueled innovation in digital technologies. The U.S. government considered these developments strategically important to American interests and engaged globally to support, advance, and defend them. [] Without TTIP, the European Union has fewer incentives to moderate its intensifying scrutiny of U.S. technology companies, and the U.S. government will lack leverage to bargain on behalf of these companies. The European Union will, thus, shape e-commerce in ways that significantly change how U.S. technology companies operate in the single market.
