EU imposes €890 million fine on Google over Digital Markets Act violations

The European Commission fined Google a total of €890 million for breaching the EU's Digital Markets Act. The penalty is split into €460 million for giving its own services – such as shopping, hotel and flight results – preferential placement in Google Search, and €430 million for restricting app developers on Google Play from directing users to cheaper offers outside the store. Google has 60 days to bring its practices into line; the company warned that required changes could affect features such as real‑time price displays and security protections.

The fine reignited transatlantic tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump responded on his Truth Social platform, threatening “substantial” tariffs on EU products and announcing a new Section 301 investigation, saying the EU would “pay a very high price” for the penalty. Several U.S. firms have already filed lawsuits challenging the new tariffs. The episode highlights the growing clash between the EU’s effort to curb Big‑Tech dominance and Washington’s pushback against perceived anti‑American regulation.
