If you work in tech outside the US, do your future self a big favor and make some contingency plans regarding your stack. List all "your" US-based services and tools, and at least come up with fallbacks, so if/when Trump claims ownership of all data/infrastructure in the US, you'll have a plan.
I'm an EU-based indie developer. I have a responsibility for my client and customer data, both out of personal conviction and by EU law (#GDPR). I've always prefered EU-based data buckets, naturally.
But I've started moving my data and infra out of the US because I want to reduce my personal risks.
I mean, it's a fact that most things I use—Apple hardware, SaaS like Paddle, GitHub, Linear, Kagi, etc.—is US-based, US-owned. It's also a fact that the EU has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to free-market offerings. 
But putting my hands into my lap and just say "oh well" is not an option.
I'll probably fall back to self-hosting, I guess. GitLab instance on a VPS, that kinda thing. And I'll very likely continue using my beloved @kagihq and Linear.app because they're ace. Yet at the same time I need to be prepared for even shittier times. #adulting
Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk, maybe buy my apps, yeah? https://actions.work/
PS: Dear @kagihq, please set up an independent EU subsidiary, I beg of you.
@czottmann Can recommend selfhosting Searxng for search!
@anders Thanks, but i use not only Kagi's search but also the summarizer, FastGPT, and some other stuff…
