It never occurred to me to interpret it that way. So to me, third countries would be Japan, South Korea that are participating in Safe. But, probably they could procure from the US under special conditions. I’m not sure. In this light, I get your point better. But the whole project’s aim is to decouple afaik.
I saw another article that said a third country could be any country. I know SAFE aims to decouple in principle but I’m infinitely suspicious of these fuckers (EU, Canadian, etc. politicians) because too often they serve moneyed interests and the US MIC is highly moneyed and connected.
Yes, let’s hope it works as intended.
