President Donald Trump responded strongly after the European Union fined Google $1 billion for breaking antitrust rules. He warned the EU it would face steep tariffs and a new trade investigation, criticizing the penalties on U.S. tech companies as unfair.
Key Facts
The EU fined Google $1 billion for favoring its own services in search results and restricting app developers from directing users elsewhere.
The fine is split in two parts, and Google must fix its practices within 60 days or face further fines of up to 5% of daily revenue.
President Trump called the EU’s penalties “highly unethical” and said the U.S. won’t be a “piggybank for Europe.”
Trump threatened to start a trade investigation under Section 301 that could lead to tariffs against the EU.
The EU said its actions ensure fair competition and that products should succeed based on quality, not ownership.
Google defended itself, saying the EU’s ruling could lead to “product degradation.”
The EU has fined Google multiple times before, including large fines over Android and advertising practices.
U.S. trade officials warned that the EU’s approach could harm a recent trade agreement between the U.S. and Europe.

The Pentagon has lowered the official number of U.S. soldiers killed and wounded in the ongoing Iran conflict, causing confusion and concern. Officials say this change is due to a technical problem, but some lawmakers question if the war is being reclassified to avoid limits on military action without Congress’s approval.
Key Facts
The Pentagon's public database showed fewer U.S. deaths and injuries in the Iran war than before, dropping from 18 to 14 deaths and from 482 to 420 wounded.
The database has not been updated for more than a day after the sudden change.
Defense officials call this discrepancy a "technical snafu" or error.
President Donald Trump declared the official war operation, called Operation Epic Fury, ended in May, but airstrikes have continued and are now called "overseas operations."
Lawmakers worry that changing the war’s label is a way to bypass the 60-day limit on military actions without congressional approval.
The Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) is the Pentagon’s main public record for tracking U.S. military deaths and injuries.
The casualty numbers in the database do not match recent Pentagon statements about troop injuries, which said many more were wounded since fighting resumed in July.
The U.S. and Iran had a 60-day ceasefire that ended earlier this month, after which fighting and strikes increased again.
