'Unfair, Unjustified, Unreasonable': India Slams Trump’s 25% Additional Tariff Over Russian Oil.

US President Donald Trump lashed out at the European Union on Friday for imposing a $3.5 billion antitrust fine on Google, calling it “unfair” and warning of retaliatory action if the bloc does not withdraw the penalty.

“Europe today 'hit' another great American company, Google, with a $3.5 Billion Dollar fine, effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American Investments and Jobs,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“Very unfair, and the American taxpayer will not stand for it!

As I have said before, my Administration will NOT allow these discriminatory actions to stand.

“It imposes an unjustified fine and requires changes that will hurt thousands of European businesses by making it harder for them to make money,” said Lee-Anne Mulholland, the company’s global head of regulatory affairs.

“There’s nothing anticompetitive in providing services for ad buyers and sellers, and there are more alternatives to our services than ever before,” she added.The EU ruling follows a three-year investigation launched in 2021. »

Right now, all of America’s foreign broadcasters, which also include Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and a handful of others, are in grave danger.

At the end of February, President Donald Trump appointed Kari Lake as senior adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees them.
