Europe does not need to win the AI race to gain leverage. It needs credible alternatives. If no foreign provider—or government—can become indispensable, substitutability itself becomes a form of sovereignty.

Nigeria sets its own terms: since 2024, new mining licenses must be tied to local value addition. Insecurity around mining sites also raises costs. Cutting U.S. dependence on Chinese supply chains will take more than a signed framework.
