Trump threats (again) to Europe. The president of the United States has described this Friday as “Very unfair” the for abusive practices in the advertising technology sector and has warned that Its administration will not allow sanctions against the US company.
“This adds to the many other fines and taxes that have been imposed against Google and other US technology companies, in particular. Very unfair, and the American taxpayer will not tolerate it! As I said before, my administration will not allow these discriminatory actions to continue! “Trump said in his social network, Truth Social, after knowing the news of the fine.
The president has denounced that These sanctions take money from the company that “otherwise would go to investments and jobs in the United States”. Trump has branded Brussels’s decision of a new “blow” against “a large American company.”
The fine is the second highest ever imposed by the European Commission for monopolistic abusesbehind the sanction of more than 4,000 million euros also to Google for violating community competition rules through Android. In addition to the economic sanction, the community executive has granted Google a 60 -day period to end these practices.
The American president also recalled a Fine of “17,000 million dollars” to Apple that in his opinion, “It shouldn’t have charged”: “They should recover that money!” He added.
Trump opens the door to impose new tariffs
“We cannot allow this to happen to the brilliant and unprecedented American innovation and, if he continues, I will be forced to initiate a procedure under section 301 to cancel unjust sanctions that these US companies are being charged to pay taxes, “said the president.
This provision of the 1974 Commerce Law It allows the US government to take commercial reprisals, including tariffs or restrictionsagainst foreign countries that in their opinion carry out unfair or discriminatory commercial policies to the detriment of North American companies.
Minutes later, Trump has published another message demanding from Europe to stop this practice. “Google has also paid, in the past, 13,000 million dollars in claims and false chargesfor a total of 16,500 million dollars. How absurd is this? The European Union must stop this practice against US companies, immediately! “he said.
This It is not the first time that Trump charges against Europe for sanctioning US technology that do not comply with their parameters. The American president has previously argued that these fines and European regulations seek to torpedo the growth of US technology and He has even suggested that they want to favor the Chinese industry.
