Core Viewpoint - The European Commission has imposed a fine of €29.5 billion (approximately ¥247 billion) on Google for abusing its dominant position in the advertising technology market, which has sparked a response from the U.S. government, threatening to initiate a trade investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 [2][4][8]. Group 1: Fine Details - The fine was imposed due to Google's alleged abuse of power in the online advertising market, prioritizing its own services to the detriment of competitors, advertisers, and online publishers, thereby harming fair competition [4]. - The fine amount was determined based on multiple factors, including the duration and severity of the violation, as well as Google's past record of similar violations [4]. - Google is required to submit a solution to the European Commission within 60 days, with the possibility of structural separation of its advertising technology business being considered [4]. Group 2: U.S. Government Response - President Trump criticized the fine as "extremely unfair" and indicated that the U.S. would not tolerate such "discriminatory actions" against American companies [9][10]. - Trump mentioned that if Europe continues to impose similar fines on U.S. tech giants, he would be compelled to initiate the Section 301 investigation to protect American taxpayers and businesses [9]. - The Section 301 investigation allows the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate "unreasonable or unfair trade practices" by other countries and recommend unilateral sanctions [9]. Group 3: Market Reaction - Following the announcement of the fine, Google's stock price surged, reaching a new all-time high of $235 per share, with a total market capitalization of $2.84 trillion (approximately ¥20 trillion) [6].
