Trump threatens EU with tariffs after Google fine

US President Donald Trump criticized the fines imposed by the European Union (EU) on American technology companies and announced that an investigation would be launched against the union within the scope of Section 301 and tariffs could be imposed. In his post on his social media account, Trump reacted to the latest fine imposed on Google by the EU Commission. Arguing that the EU "targeted large American companies", Trump reminded that Google was also fined a new $1 billion, following the fines imposed on companies such as Apple, Meta and Amazon.

Donald Trump pointed out that with the latest fine imposed on Google, the company's total fines from the EU have exceeded 18 billion dollars, and described the practices in question as "illegal and highly discriminatory". Claiming that such penalties against American companies reached high levels in the first year of the former US President Joe Biden administration, Trump emphasized that these practices will not continue during his administration. Trump: "The USA is not a piggy bank for Europe, we will not allow it. made his assessment.

Stating that an investigation will be launched against the EU's practices within the scope of Section 301 of the Trade Code, Trump said, "The EU will pay a heavy price for this illegal and highly unethical practice, which I constantly warn them about. These penalties will be completely withdrawn and we anticipate that a significant tariff will be applied as soon as possible. he said. On July 23, the EU Commission fined Google a total of 890 million euros after determining that it violated the Digital Markets Act in two different areas.
