Trump Accuses EU of 'ROBBING' US Tech Companies After $1 Billion Fine Against Google
President Donald Trump accused the European Union of unfairly targeting U.S. tech companies through what he called discriminatory fines, including a recent €900 million ($1 billion) penalty against Google for alleged competition violations. He warned that such actions could lead to 'substantial' tariffs on European goods. While some high-profile EU antitrust penalties were imposed during the Biden administration, others date back to Trump's first term in office. The comments highlight growing tensions between Washington and Brussels over tech regulation and trade policy. The fine against Google is part of a broader pattern where U.S.-based firms face increasing scrutiny from European regulators on competition law enforcement issues.
