US EditionSenior US diplomat calls EU policies bad for trans-Atlantic partnership
U.S. officials say the EU's $140 million fine on X threatens trans-Atlantic security and shared Western values, challenging U.S.-EU partnership within NATO.
- On Saturday, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said a $140 million European Union fine on Elon Musk-owned X undermines U.S. policies and shared security.
- European regulators said the Digital Services Act enforcement action on Friday cited X's deceptive blue-check system, weak ad-transparency and refusal to grant researchers access, with EU officials saying X's U.S. status did not affect the decision.
- Senator Marco Rubio and other officials, including Brendan Carr, criticized the fine as biased against U.S. tech firms, with Rubio calling it `an attack on the American people`; JD Vance and Washington officials also objected.
- The dispute is surfacing as the Trump administration signals dramatic shifts in U.S.-Europe relations within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, pushing for more European defence spending but sending mixed NATO messages.
- Elon Musk's Friday post called for the European Union to be abolished, while Christopher Landau, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, had previously questioned NATO in a deleted June post.
