EU Excludes Tech Laws from U.S. Trade Negotiations

News summary

The European Union has firmly stated that its Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Digital Services Act (DSA), designed to regulate large tech companies like Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Google, are not subject to negotiation in ongoing trade talks with the United States. EU officials emphasized that these laws, which aim to curb anti-competitive practices and ensure safer online environments, will not be altered despite pressure from the U.S. government and tech industry. This stance comes in response to President Trump's claims that the EU might make concessions on these regulations in exchange for trade benefits. The EU views these regulations as essential for digital sovereignty and consumer protection, rejecting any notion of softening the rules to accommodate U.S. interests. The Digital Acts have already led to significant financial penalties against U.S. tech giants, reinforcing the EU's commitment to enforcing the legislation independently of trade discussions. Overall, Brussels maintains that its digital legal framework is a priority separate from broader trade negotiations, underscoring a growing divide on tech policy between the two powers.
