Because Europe is not Russia?

Yup, and later Asimov expanded this short story into a saga that brought to the birth of law Zero:

A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

No because if it is lower on priority, a robot can be forced to show an AD to a human as per the 2nd law.

I wonder if it’s possible to play to their egos and sow discord by continuing to call them President Musk and Mr. Trump.

“I’m not the head of the department, it’s just an empty shell company with a puppethead that follows my every whim.”
