Aside from maybe some podunk countries who don't build aircraft making some bluster, I don't think anything substantial is going to happen here.

Other than EASA, no other regulator is even in the same league for being able to evaluate aircraft certification. And neither they, nor the next most capable countries, are going to do anything to upset their reciprocity agreements.
