U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has asked EU antitrust boss Teresa Ribera to clarify how she will enforce the European Union’s rules on Big Tech companies.

In October 2024, Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party politician Teresa Ribera, before being successfully nominated as the European Commission’s antitrust chief, vowed “vigorous enforcement” on large tech companies using the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
