Trump criticizes EU's fine on Google and threatens to launch a 301 investigation.

Trump expressed on social media that Europe imposing a $3.5 billion fine on Google today actually took away funds originally intended for investment and employment in the United States. This does not include the many other fines and taxes imposed on Google and other American technology companies. It is very unfair and American taxpayers will not tolerate it. He stated that the US government will not allow such discriminatory behavior to continue. For example, Apple was forced to pay a $17 billion fine, and they should get their money back. Trump said that such things should not happen to the brilliant and unprecedented American creativity, and he stated that he would be forced to initiate the Section 301 procedure to cancel the unfair penalties imposed on these taxed American companies.
