The European Union’s (EU) internal market regulator sent a warning letter to X owner Elon Musk ahead of his interview with former President Donald Trump on the platform, saying that “interim measures” could be taken against the social media site.

On Monday, Thierry Breton, the commissioner for internal market, sent a letter to Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino about the Trump broadcast, which occurred on Monday evening.
