American President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. will open a trade investigation against the European Union, in response to the 890 million euro fine imposed on Google for violating digital market rules. Trump accused the EU of illegal and discriminatory practices against American companies, mentioning previous sanctions imposed on other tech giants like Apple and Meta. In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump emphasized that these actions began during Joe Biden's administration and promised that they would not be tolerated. He invoked Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to justify the investigation, warning that the EU will face severe consequences, including substantial tariffs. The European Commission explained that the Google fine is the result of favoring its own services and restrictions imposed on app developers. Google contests the allegations, arguing that the measures could affect European users and companies.
