"The European Commission fined Google €890 million for violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA), potentially angering US President Trump. The EU previously fined Apple and Meta. Despite the Turnberry Agreement capping most US tariffs at 15%, steel and aluminium tariffs remain at 50% due to US demands to drop EU digital rules.
