Military doesn't come in to this at all.

And similar arguments could be made for why American companies would play nice to the EU.

If I were a company I would target America first and Asia second. Due to increasing regulations, political uncertainty and lack of growth I'd shift the EU to third (it used to be an obvious second to me).

Fair enough, but you'd be missing out on a huge market. And unlike Asia, it has a single regulation to follow for things like data protection.

If your company was unable to comply with GDPR, many wouldn't want business with your company anyway, especially other companies who are trying to comply with it.
