President Donald Trump had harsh words for the European Union on Thursday over fines against major American tech firms that he deemed “unfair.”Trump specifically reacted to a graphic highlighting that the EU collected more revenue in a year by fining American tech firms than it received from taxing European firms.
“This is very unfair for our Tech Companies, and for the United States of America!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The European Union has clashed with major American tech firms, especially social media like the Elon Musk-led X, largely over its own online content laws.
Major Trump administration officials like Vice President JD Vance have criticized Brussels for its policies, contending they represent a threat to free speech.
