Brussels prepares first digital rulebook fine against Google, risking Trump's ire
German media reports say the EU's executive arm is set to announce a fine against Google on Thursday, in a move that could escalate tensions with the Trump administration over digital services regulation.
German media reports say the European Union's executive arm is preparing to announce its first fine under the bloc's digital rulebook against Google on Thursday, marking an early enforcement test of the legislation.
The move could further escalate already tense relations between Brussels and Washington over digital services regulation. The Trump administration has previously criticized Europe's regulatory pressure on American technology companies.
EU officials have not yet formally disclosed the exact amount or grounds for the fine, and Google has not issued a public response.
