US EditionTrump Calls EU Fine on X 'Nasty One', Says Europe Going in 'Bad Directions'
- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump criticised a European Union tech regulators' fine of 120 million euros on Elon Musk’s social media company X at the White House, saying, `I don't see how they can do that.`
- EU regulators say X breached Digital Services Act transparency obligations, including researchers' access and ad repository issues, and Henna Virkkunen, EU tech chief, defended the penalty as proportionate.
- Coverage of European enforcement highlights Elon Musk dismissed the X penalty last week and reposted criticisms, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and FCC Chair Brendan Carr denounced it as an attack on American firms.
- Trump added that Europe "is going in some bad directions" and expected the EU fine report later Monday, a dispute that could escalate U.S.–EU tensions and affect Washington policy aims.
- The U.S. National Security Strategy frames the row as part of broader aims toward Europe, including the chapter 'Promoting European Greatness,' which critics see as reflecting transatlantic strategic competition.
