Trump vows to investigate EU fines on US tech giants
President Trump said on Truth Social that his administration would investigate European Union fines levied against US tech companies including Apple, Google, Meta and Amazon for antitrust and Digital Markets Act violations. He called for the penalties to be entirely reversed and threatened new tariffs, after the European Commission found Google's search ranking and anti-steering practices breached the DMA.
Why it matters
The threat escalates transatlantic tension over tech regulation, tying EU enforcement to trade policy and raising the prospect of retaliatory tariffs against European exports.
