美国总统特朗普于周五威胁将对欧盟启动301调查并施加关税，以回应欧盟对美国科技企业的反竞争罚款行为。[1]特朗普特别针对欧盟周四对谷歌开出的8.9亿欧元（约10亿美元）罚款作出回应，声称谷歌在欧盟累计被罚款总额超过18亿美元。[1]
特朗普在Truth Social平台上表示，"欧盟将为这种非法且极其不道德的行为付出非常高昂的代价"。[1]美国贸易代表Jamieson Greer批评欧盟的执法行动破坏了"建设性对话"。[1]
President Trump on Friday threatened to launch a tariff investigation against the European Union in response to its antitrust penalties targeting major American technology companies.[1] The threat followed the EU's imposition of an €890 million fine against Google on Thursday, which Trump characterized as part of a broader pattern of "illegal and highly unethical conduct."[1] Trump claimed that Google alone has faced cumulative fines exceeding $18 billion from EU authorities and vowed that "The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct."[1]
Trump announced his intention to initiate a Section 301 investigation through a post on Truth Social, a mechanism typically used to examine foreign trade practices and justify retaliatory tariffs.[1] U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer echoed the administration's concerns, contending that the EU's enforcement actions have undermined "constructive dialogue" between the two trading partners.[1]
