Why do you think you're right?

The Trump administration seems opposed to export restrictions in general, the focus on tarriffs as a way to protect US industry seems that it would not favor export restrictions.

The White House has rejected several plans to replace the Biden regulations.

Why might you be wrong?

The administration used AI chip export controls as a way to retaliate against China in the current trade war, they could use that as a bargaining chip again.

Not much happened at COP30: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/12/what-happened-cop30-whats-next/

In addition, most countries that would seem likely to have a carbon tax or ETS, have implemented one.

The criteria for a YES resolution is fairly restrictive: while 13 countries are considering some form of regulation, most if not all would not count as YES.

13 countries are currently considering some form of carbon tax or emissions trading, one of them could pass the criteria for resolution: https://www.i4ce.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Global-carbon-accounts-2025_V1.pdf

Why do you think you're right?

European NATO members are signing big defense procurement deals but I think this is unlikely to happen because:

  • 1 billion is a huge contract: Germany's recent defense acquisition contracts totaled 2.9 billion euros across a dozen contracts and Germany is the EU's biggest economy. It seems far-fetched that several countries could spend that much, particularly on a single contract.
  • By July 2026 is very soon for this big of a contract, there would have to be an event precipitating rapid decision-making. Under current circumstances, it's unclear why that would be the case.
  • With non-European suppliers: again using Germany's example, Germany strongly favored domestic suppliers and European suppliers.

The combination of at least 2 countries signing huge contracts and with non-European suppliers in a short time-frame (8 months away) seems far-fetched.

Why might you be wrong?

Poland has signed a 4.7 billion contract with Boeing to acquire Apaches (but Poland seems to be the most inclined to acquire lots of equipment i.e. big contracts in a short timeframe and from non-European suppliers).

Canada has entered the EU's loans for weapons program which would make it easier for European allies to buy Canadian weapons (but Canada's defense industry is not big and a 1 billion dollar contract would be huge).
