It's a bittersweet birthday for the EU-US trade deal. One year after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump struck the landmark agreement in Turnberry, Scotland, transatlantic trade relations are being jeopardised by fresh threats from the US.
Last week's €890 million fine imposed by the Commission on US tech giant Google sent the Trump administration into a fury. Posting on Truth Social, the president said the US will launch investigations into unfair trade practices, signalling that his administration is prepared to retaliatewhenthe EU enforces its digital rules against US firms.
