US President Trump announces plan to launch a probe into the EU's Google fine, characterising the enforcement action as illegal and signalling escalating US-EU regulatory conflict over big tech enforcement.

If you sell to Europe and rely on US cloud infrastructure or APIs, regulatory reciprocal attacks just became your problem. Google's fine is now a pretext for US tariffs or service restrictions on EU tech buyers.
