President Donald Trump threatened to initiate a trade investigation to “nullify” fines imposed by the European Union against U.S. tech giants, including Apple and Google.

In a Sept. 5 Truth Social post, Trump announced that he would initiate a Section 301 probe to eliminate what he calls “unfair penalties” on U.S. companies.
