What's missing from the coverage is a discussion of the potential economic impacts on both European and American tech industries, which may reveal differing perspectives on globalization and trade. This absence may reflect a blind spot in the left-leaning framing of the NYT, which could benefit from exploring the economic ramifications more thoroughly.
