President Donald Trump on Friday blasted the European Union over what he called its illegal decision ​to fine Alphabet's Google, saying Washington would launch ⁠a probe into the ​bloc's "robbing" of American companies.

The European Commission ⁠on Thursday fined Google a total of $1 billion ‌for flouting EU ​rules aimed ‌at reining in the power ‌of Big Tech.

"We will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation ⁠into the practice ‌of “ROBBING” American ⁠Companies," Truth said in a social ⁠media ⁠post, referring to Section 301 ‌of the Trade Act of 1974.

"The European Union will pay ‌a ​very big ‌price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct," ​he wrote.
