The US government has pressed the EU to ease enforcement of the Digital Markets Act on US Big Tech companies as a condition to lowering tariffs on European steel and aluminum. This linkage risks reigniting trade tensions between the US and EU after last year’s partial trade deal.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Tariff relief now depends on easing EU rules against US Big Tech, signalling regulatory risk for founders building on or competing with Google, Apple, and Meta in Europe. You must account for potential regulatory shifts that could reshape market access or compliance costs this year.
