This looks like a Mexican standoff…
The White House wants to use tariffs as leverage for concessions against the EU, Big Tech would also like concessions from both EU (less moderation, less antitrust probes, less privacy regulations, etc.) and the White House (less tariffs), while the EU is now more inclined to increase scrutiny of Big Tech as a way to push the White House to relent on tariffs. Popcorns anyone?
