What product and what market? That is… largely not true and to the extent it is true, it’s less because a product isn’t “safe” and more because of protectionist standards that developed differently.

Yes and no. Not all of the product is manufactured in the US. Pharmaceuticals are the top EU export and it’s mostly US companies that fled to better tax rates (Ireland) producing to export back to the U.S.
