The US could easily influence other countries here by enforcing labeling of 'non compliant' devices, tariffs, or flat out banning the sale of those items in the US.

Consumers could also look at something that is built in the US and understand that it is built to a different standard. Right now I don't think consumers really have a strong sense of "this is going to have worse security than that".

"uh.. yeah. Sure. All this definitely came from licensed software engineers. We pinky-promise. No unregistered hackers or slave labor." - 3rd world company probably

The rest of the world really don't care what the US thinks is important. They will do what is barely needed to do commerce with us (sometimes), but that's it.

That is just mind numbingly wrong.

Read my comments again, I meant they don't intrinsically care.

No one cares about any law by that logic. We either inherently, 'intrinsically' care about the thing the law defines, ie: we have an ethical framework that aligns with the law, or, we don't care but we acknowledge the cost of not following the law.

Either way, the rest of the world by and large cares deeply about the US and its laws.
