Trump criticizes Europe over Google fine
Google faced a record fine exceeding one billion dollars imposed by the European Union, due to practices related to violations of antitrust laws. The company was fined 890 million euros for discriminating against its own services such as "Google Flights" and "Google Hotels," and an additional 430 million euros for not allowing developers to offer free deals outside the Google Play Store. This follows the larger sanctions previously imposed by the European Union on tech giants like Apple and Meta, in an effort to ensure fair competition in the digital market, which came under new regulations in 2024. American President Donald Trump criticized the EU penalties, threatening retaliatory measures including tariffs, viewing these fines as a "robbery" of American companies that harms U.S.-Germany relations. It is expected that these actions could lead to the reversal of current sanctions and the imposition of tariffs on the European Union, potentially escalating tensions between the two sides.
