US to Investigate EU Trade Practices, Trump Claims

US President Donald Trump has announced that the US will open a formal investigation into the European Union's trade practices, claiming the bloc has unfairly levied billions of dollars of fines against Google, Apple, and other US tech giants. The move comes after the EU hit Google with a fine of €890 million, or $1 billion, after it said the company had abused its market dominance. Trump has called for the fines to be 'entirely reversed', and has threatened to impose tariffs on EU goods if the bloc does not change its trade practices.
