Henna Virkkunen, the EU's vice-president for digital policy, affirmed that the bloc will uphold its tech regulations despite trade pressures from the Trump administration. She explained that EU rules are applied equally to all firms, addressing claims of bias against American companies. Virkkunen emphasized fairness, safety, and democracy in the EU's digital environment, highlighting that larger firms face more obligations due to their market impact. Despite ongoing tariff disputes and accusations from US officials, the EU remains steadfast in its regulatory stance.
We are very committed to our rules when it comes to the digital world. We want to make sure that our digital environment in the European Union is fair and safe.
Virkkunen gently pushed back at suggestions that EU digital regulations could be considered trade barriers, stating that the same rules apply to all companies.
