Trump Threatens EU Tariffs After Google's €890M Fine

The EU fined Google €890M on July 23, 2026 for unfairly favoring its own services in search results and blocking rival payment options in its app store. Within a day, Trump launched a trade probe into the EU, calling the fine illegal and threatening substantial tariffs. The USTR said it endangers the EU-US trade deal. Such tariffs face legal hurdles after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's earlier tariff regime in February.
