nah, GPS is needed by US outside US as well, I bet someone will propose a 'great' idea to start charging for it

or they could replace it with Starlink (no conflict of interest, obviously), which can be used for global positioning

Galileo already exists.

sure, but the US isn't going to switch to a network run by the ESA

my point was regarding privitization of public goods (like GPS)
