I would say almost with 100% certainty as long as ITER is successful and it is so over engineered it probably will be.
Every major country in the world is still working together despite the political shit show the rest of the world is. And several countries as so certain they are starting to build the accompanying support network that will be needed to run them.

Fusion would be incredibly expensive contrary to popular belief. It will most likely initially only used by the military and space missions

Everything new is super expensive.
A Cray 2 cost 12M when I was a child my S21 Ultra cost 1200 dollars and is 850 times as powerful.
The first functional fusion reactor (if it is ITER) is going to be outrageously expensive because it is all custom built on site like nuclear reactors are.
Fusion has an advantage though as it won't puke radioactive waste everywhere so they will likely be built factory style and assembled on site.

Well the short answer is that we are all screwed because that means the aliens arrived and someone was staring at them and ran him over.
