Many tech companies are headquartered in the USA, because of its relaxed regulations.
Apple, Google, Intel, AMD, Microsoft, Nvidia, Qualcomn, just to name a few. And you probably know the political situation of the US. The new administration is gonna take the "relaxed regulations" to a whole new level.
Doesn't surprise me that this is happening.
