WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Friday to impose more tariffs on the European Union (EU) shortly after the bloc slapped a 2.95-billion-euro fine, or 3.47 billion U.S. dollars, on Google for violating anti-monopoly laws.

Right after the EU decision, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that "Europe today 'hit' another great American company, Google, with a $3.5 Billion Dollar fine, effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American Investments and Jobs ... Very unfair, and the American Taxpayer will not stand for it!"
