President Donald Trump said Friday the U.S. will investigate and reverse fines the European Union has made against American tech companies in the last five years, threatening to impose tariffs against the bloc in retaliation.

Trump addressed in a Truth Social post a $1 billion fine the EU handed down against Google this week over antitrust violations.
The president characterized the fines against Google, Apple, Meta and Amazon as an “illegal and highly discriminatory practice” that began when former President Joe Biden took office in 2021.
