ABSTRACT: The paper analyzes how the United States wields rules of origin—together with tariffs, export controls and procurement rules—to secure technological sovereignty, steer supply-chain realignments and shape international trade norms in its favor. It reviews the domestic and international legal foundations of U.S. ROO, traces their historical evolution and details recent policy moves directed at China. The author contends that this toolkit reflects a broader “crisis-capitalization” strategy designed to entrench an American-led global order.
