U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has publicly demanded that the EU ease enforcement of its antitrust and tech regulations, arguing that Europe is overreaching in controlling global tech governance and unfairly targeting American companies. The statement sets up a direct confrontation over regulatory authority, with the U.S. threatening retaliation against digital services taxes while the EU maintains its enforcement is non-discriminatory.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software, Cloud Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building in Europe or targeting European users, your regulatory surface just expanded: Washington is now actively pushing back on EU enforcement, which means EU regulators may tighten rules further to defend their authority, and U.S. tariff retaliation could make European operations more expensive. Build your compliance roadmap around two competing rulebooks, not one.
