US Ambassador Jamieson Greer has accused the EU of creating transatlantic trade uncertainty following the European Commission's enforcement actions against US tech companies under the Digital Markets Act, including a planned €1 billion fine on Google over Android and Search practices.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building on Android or search infrastructure in Europe, the EU is now fining Google for the same practices you may depend on—and US diplomatic pushback suggests these rules may tighten further before they soften. Expect your supply chain or compliance costs to move this year.
