US demands EU antitrust chief clarify rules reining in Big Tech
The HinduU.S. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan on Sunday demanded EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera clarify how she enforces the European Union's rules reining in Big Tech, saying they appear to target U.S. companies. The request came two days after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum warning that his administration would scrutinise the EU's Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act "that dictate how American companies interact with consumers in the European Union". "We write to express our concerns that the DMA may target American companies," Jordan wrote in a letter sent to Ribera on Sunday and seen by Reuters, saying that the rules subject companies to burdensome regulations and give European companies an advantage. "These severe fines appear to have two goals: to compel businesses to follow European standards worldwide, and as a European tax on American companies," Jordan and Fitzgerald said.
