The European Union fined Apple $15 billion, Meta $3 billion and Amazon $2.5 billion.

Full assertion from President Trump:
The European Union is at it once more and, as traditional, taking direct purpose at GREAT American Firms!
After having fined Apple, for no purpose in any respect, 15 Billion {Dollars}, Meta, 3 Billion {Dollars}, Amazon 2.5 Billion {Dollars}, and plenty of others, now we have simply been knowledgeable that Google, a really superior and wonderful group, has been fined yet one more 1 Billion {Dollars}, with out rationalization.
This brings the Google complete to over 18 Billion {Dollars}! This unlawful and extremely discriminatory observe began at these excessive ranges in the course of the first yr of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it surely’s not going to proceed in the course of the Trump Administration.
America of America shouldn’t be a “PIGGYBANK” for Europe, nor will we permit it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to signify that we are going to instantly provoke a 301 Investigation into the observe of “ROBBING” American Firms and, in flip, the American Taxpayer.
The European Union pays a really huge worth for this unlawful and extremely unethical conduct, which I’ve constantly warned them about.
The penalties will likely be completely reversed and, we anticipate, a considerable TARIFF to be positioned on them on the earliest potential second. Keep tuned! President DONALD J. TRUMP
