Donald Trump has threatened tariffs after the EU fined Google under the Digital Markets Act. Luxembourg's direct US trade is limited, but its open economy and financial centre remain exposed to a wider dispute.
The EU has specified how Google must share anonymised search data with eligible rival search engines and search-enabled AI services from January 2027. The measure will also apply in Luxembourg.
The General Court of the European Union in Luxembourg dismissed Apple's challenge to its 'gatekeeper' designation under the Digital Markets Act on 8 July 2026, confirming that the App Store and iOS remain bound by the bloc's rules for Big Tech. Complaints over iMessage were ruled inadmissible. Apple may appeal to the Court of Justice.
Europe's top court is due to hand down its unappealable judgment on the record €4.125 billion fine imposed on Google for abusing the dominance of Android. The ruling caps a case that began in 2018 and will set the ceiling for classic EU tech-antitrust enforcement as the Digital Markets Act takes over.
