As an European I - somehow - welcome this new sort of policy. It reads to me as "we concentrate primarily on ourselves". Which I think is a good attitude.
I hope this sort of thinking becomes more widespread. Sort of an anti-globalization movement.
We have and always will have globalization. In cyber-space. The open source community is an incredible example for how that works. But please concentrate globalisation to remain virtual instead of bazillion goods being transported all over the planet and contributing to pollution. This is also true for long-termn workforce movements.
„...bazillion goods being transported all over the planet and contributing to pollution...“
This seems to be oversimplified. A massive global supply-chain might still produce less polution than carrying around lots of small quantities of goods locally from producer to endconsumer.
Utterly disgusting, to another European with a completely opposite view. People are more important than goods, services and capital. People should be able to travel and settle down wherever they choose.
The only bad effects of globalization are the ones deriving from the power that corporations and wealthy individuals have of gaming the tax system.

Come, see, go, leave no traces. Thank you!
