Trump Threatens EU With New Tariffs Over Google Fine

On July 24, 2026, Trump threatened the EU with "substantial" additional tariffs — taxes on imports — and launched a U.S. probe into its treatment of American firms. He called the EU's €890m Google fine "illegal" and accused Brussels of targeting Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Google. A 10% EU tariff was already imposed July 23. The European Commission declined to comment.
