Anti-American sentiment is surging amid the second term of US President Donald Trump. Ifop research found this week that two thirds of French people support a boycott of US products. One market where those products are especially hard to avoid is technology. Just how integrated into our lives is American tech? How are boycotters taking steps to disconnect? And what's the EU doing to tackle America's tech monopoly? We take a closer look in this edition of Tech 24.

US President Donald Trump’s announced shuttering of the Department of Education comes amid a broader attack on knowledge and research. Since Trump returned to the presidency in January, US science has suffered budget cuts, layoffs and censorship, with global implications.

But near the end of his second week in office, we're still none the wiser.

“This is money that normally would have gone to China,” Trump proclaimed on Tuesday while unveiling Stargate, an artificial intelligence project that will cost $500 billion, according to its participants OpenAI, Softbank, Oracle and MGX. It was another indication that keeping ahead of Beijing on AI is a priority of the Trump administration.
