Europe just fined Google $1 billion, the day before Trump is expected to announce tariffs

Europe slapped Google with a hefty $1 billion fine for unfairly manipulating search results to sideline rivals and preventing app developers from directing users to cheaper deals outside its Play Store. This decision comes just before the U.S. is expected to announce a new set of tariffs, adding to the ongoing trade tensions between the EU and the U.S. The timing underscores the complex interplay between global tech giants and international trade policies, raising questions about fair competition and the impact of regulatory actions on cross-border business practices.
