Greer ‘Disappointed’ in EU Treatment of US Tech After Trade Deal

The US Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, has expressed disappointment with the European Union's treatment of US tech companies following a recent trade deal. This statement comes just days after Elon Musk's social network, X (formerly Twitter), was fined €120 million ($140 million) for violating the EU's content moderation law. Lighthizer, who served as the US trade negotiator under the Trump administration, believes that the EU has not upheld its promise to regulate American tech giants fairly. The fine imposed on X has raised concerns about the EU's approach to regulating the digital space and its potential impact on US tech companies operating in the region. The article highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and the EU regarding the treatment of American tech firms, despite the recent trade deal. Lighthizer's comments suggest that the US is closely monitoring the EU's actions and seeking a more balanced and equitable approach to the regulation of the tech industry.
