US Administration Launches Official Investigation into EU Trade Practices

The US President escalated his rhetoric against the European Union, explicitly accusing it of targeting American companies and announcing the launch of a comprehensive official investigation into what he described as "illegal practices." In official statements, the US administration emphasized that it will not compromise on protecting its economic interests, warning of severe sanctions and countermeasures in response to these policies. This move comes amid rising trade tensions between Washington and Brussels, which recently included reciprocal tariffs and disputes over digital taxes and tech industry subsidies, reflecting a stricter US approach to protecting its domestic economy.
