China has announced an antitrust investigation into global search engine giant Google potentially in response to new tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump escalating trade tensions between the two giants. The move that’s largely seen as “retaliatory” comes as the 10 percent tariff that Trump ordered on China is set to go into effect, though things could change after his scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days.
