Trump threatens more tariffs on EU following Google fine

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose more tariffs on the European Union (EU) shortly after the bloc slapped a 2.95-billion-euro fine, or $3.47 billion, on Google for violating anti-monopoly laws.

Right after the EU decision, Trump said on Friday on his Truth Social platform:

“Europe today ‘hit’ another great American company, Google, with a $3.5 billion dollar fine,



effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American investments and jobs. Very unfair, and the American taxpayer will not stand for it!”

“As I have said before, my administration will not allow these discriminatory actions to stand. I will be forced to start a Section 301 proceeding to nullify the unfair penalties being charged to these taxpaying American companies,” the US President added.
