Trump takes aim at EU over Google and wider actions against US companies
US President Donald Trump escalates his criticism of the European Union on Sept. 5, 2025 after Brussels fined Alphabet’s Google 2.95 billion euros ($3.45 billion) for alleged anti-competitive conduct in its adtech business, vowing to raise the issue directly with EU officials and threatening potential trade retaliation. In posts on Truth Social, Trump labeled the action 'unfair' and 'discriminatory,' and said he was considering launching a Section 301 investigation — a legal tool under the 1974 Trade Act that allows the US to penalize foreign measures deemed unjustifiable or burdensome to American commerce.
