From MSN:
President Donald Trump’s push to halt the war in Ukraine on terms favorable to Russia and the European Union’s announcement Friday of a roughly $140 million fine against X for violating the bloc’s digital rules have fueled the fire, pushing transatlantic relations to their lowest point since Trump returned to the White House in January. Elon Musk, the owner of X, is calling for abolishing the E.U., and Trump supporters are railing against the 27-nation bloc. European officials describe the regulations as a matter of sovereignty and say they are trying to stop abuses by behemoth American technology companies.
Tensions erupted after the U.S. strategy painted the E.U. as a bigger threat than Russia or China and said Europe risks “civilizational erasure” because of immigrants and progressive social policies.
