The European Union has fined Google about $3.5 billion for allegedly violating advertising regulations. This decision sparked a strong response from U.S. President Donald Trump, who labeled the penalty as discriminatory against American tech companies. Trump accused the European Union of unfair treatment and warned that if the fine is not revoked, the United States would take action under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act. This law empowers the U.S. government to investigate and impose tariffs, sanctions, or restrictions on countries that discriminate against American businesses. The escalating dispute highlights growing tensions between the U.S. and EU over trade fairness and tech regulations.
