US companies withdraw from European markets. It's an interesting idea though I think that a lot of companies really don't want to leave money on the table.

The E.U. is a pretty big and wealthy market so its definitely not
inconsequential to pull out.

The bigger problem is the vacuum left behind will either be filled
by the Chinese or home grown companies that could grow up to
be strong competitors. Neither outcome is desirable.

However if the E.U. starts imposing fines larger than the benefit
of having a presence in the E.U. then U.S. companies may choose
to leave. It is also clear that the U.S. will have no choice but to
strongly retaliate against E.U. companies selling in the U.S., a
path that quickly spirals out of control globally as trade barriers
go up everywhere and nearly everyone gets much poorer.

To paraphrase Archer, "Do you want a great depression? Because
this is how you get great depressions!"
