Trump criticizes EU's fine on Google, says countermeasures will be considered

According to Jinse Finance, citing CCTV News, US President Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social," criticizing the European Union for imposing a $3.5 billion fine on Google, calling the move "extremely unfair" and claiming it is plundering funds that should be used for American investment and employment. He pointed out that this is just one of many fines and taxes Europe has imposed on Google and other US tech companies in recent years. Trump emphasized that his administration would not tolerate such "discriminatory behavior." Trump warned that if Europe continues to take similar actions against American tech giants, he will be forced to initiate the "Section 301" procedure to overturn these "unfair penalties" in order to protect the interests of American tax-paying companies. On the 5th local time, the European Commission announced a €2.95 billion (approximately $3.5 billion) fine on US tech giant Google for abusing its dominant position in the ad tech market and harming the competitive environment.
