... and since I am at it, did anyone consider the guarantees to be set in place so that the USA government does not decide to reverse the process at a certain point in time, after the conclusion of the transition, and take it over again? This could happen if the post-transition dynamics leads to new arrangements which the US government does not like, or if a change in the US government might lead to a full review of the process. How secure this will be after its conclusion? fraternal regards --c.a.
