Trump

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will open a formal investigation into the European Union’s trade practices. He claims the bloc has unfairly levied billions of dollars of fines against Google, Apple and other U.S. tech giants. A day earlier, the EU fined Google 890 million euros ($1 billion) for allegedly breaking digital antitrust regulations by corralling consumers toward its own services and apps to the detriment of competitors. Trump’s announcement comes a day after the White House said it would impose double-digit tariffs on imports from more than 60 countries. The White House accuses the countries of inadequately enforcing bans on goods produced by forced labor.
