What happened
President Donald Trump said the U.S. will immediately open a Section 301 investigation into European Union trade practices after EU regulators fined Google €890 million, about $1 billion, in an antitrust case involving Google Play and search. Trump accused the EU of targeting U.S. technology companies and threatened “substantial” new tariffs on the 27-member bloc. He cited prior EU penalties against Apple, Meta and Amazon and said billions of dollars in fines on American companies should be reversed.
