Trump threatens substantial tariffs and a Section 301 investigation into EU antitrust enforcement, specifically over the European Commission's €890 million fine against Google for Digital Markets Act violations. The escalation tests the transatlantic trade framework agreed last year.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell SaaS or AI tools into Europe, tariff retaliation is now a real risk in your margin math. The EU's DMA enforcement just became a trade war flashpoint—compliance costs may spike, and US vendors face tariff exposure on top of fines.
