The European Commission said on Friday it would engage with the US to de-escalate tensions after the EU executive fined Google on Thursday over its dominance in the EU's digital market, sparking an angry reaction from Washington.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the EU's fine jeopardised dialogue between the two sides of the Atlantic on digital regulation, as well as the trade deal that the US and EU struck last year after tough negotiations.
The Trump administration has persistently railed against the EU's digital rules, accusing Brussels of imposing non-tariff barriers on US companies and disproportionately targeting American Big Tech.
