‘Very unfair’: Trump threatens EU tariffs for $3.47-billion Google antitrust fine
US President Donald Trump lashed out at the European Union Friday for slapping Google with an “unfair” $3.47 billion antitrust fine, threatening retaliatory tariffs if the bloc does not repeal the measure.
Trump’s intervention came a day after he hosted tech titans for a gala dinner at the White House including Google’s chief executive Sundar Pichai and co-founder Sergey Brin.
“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,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
