Trump Threatens EU Tariffs Over Google's $1B Fine

President Trump sharply escalated his trade war with the European Union, threatening substantial new tariffs after the bloc fined Google $1 billion for violating the Digital Markets Act.

Trump denounced the penalty as 'illegal and highly unethical conduct' and accused the EU of 'robbing' American tech giants.

He said his administration would launch a trade investigation into the fines.

The threat marks a new front in Trump's trade disputes and comes just hours after the EU expressed relief that new US tariffs did not target it directly.
