President Trump has threatened retaliatory tariffs against the EU through a Section 301 investigation, following the EU's imposition of a €1 billion fine on Google. He argued that the EU discriminates against US companies and claimed that the fine would be fully refunded. Trump characterized the fine as illegal and unethical, emphasizing that such practices initiated during the Biden administration would not continue under his leadership. The USTR (United States Trade Representative) is expected to launch a Section 301 investigation into the EU soon, with potential tariffs matching or exceeding the amount of the fine imposed on US companies. Trump's actions are raising concerns that other countries could become targets.
