The European Commission fined Google $1 billion under the Digital Markets Act for favouring its own services and restricting app developers. President Trump threatened retaliatory tariffs on the EU and announced a Section 301 trade investigation, claiming total EU fines against American tech companies exceed $40 billion.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
US tariff retaliation against EU tech fines is now official policy, not rhetoric. If you're selling to Europe or depend on European supply chains, your cost of goods just moved—and if you're building in the US, your European customers' capex got a lot more expensive.
