Spotify gets wrapped up in EU's tangle with Silicon Valley as Trump administration threatens vengeance for 'discriminatory and harassing' behavior | Fortune
"If the EU and EU Member States insist on continuing to restrict, limit, and deter the competitiveness of U.S. service providers through discriminatory means, the United States will have no choice but to begin using every tool at its disposal to counter these unreasonable measures,"
"EU service providers have been able to operate freely in the United States for decades, benefiting from access to our market and consumers on a level playing field,"
"persistent course of discriminatory and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against U.S. service providers."
The Trump administration issued an ultimatum to the European Union over regulation of U.S. technology companies, warning of retaliatory measures. The Office of the United States Trade Representative accused European regulators of pursuing a persistent course of discriminatory and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against U.S. service providers. The U.S. warned it could impose fees and restrictions on European companies operating in American markets if such practices continue. Potential targets named include DHL, Accenture, Siemens, SAP, Spotify, and Mistral AI. The U.S. emphasized that EU service providers have long benefited from open access to the American market.
