The EU has the “sovereign right” to regulate technology, the European Commission said on Tuesday, in response to Donald Trump’s threats to impose customs duties to countries that, according to him, are directed to US technological companies.
Brussels also “firmly refuted” the accusation to which American companies were deliberately referred to by these digital rules.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, strongly attacked the countries or organizations that regulate the technological sector, threatening them with customs tariffs and export restrictions.
Rejection of accusations
If you have not cited directly to the European Union, it also has the most powerful legal arsenal in the world to regulate digital technology.
“It is the sovereign law of the EU and its member states regular the economic activities in our territory while respecting our democratic values,” said European executive spokeswoman Paula Pinho.
The European Commission also rejected the accusations of censorship launched by the Trump administration and the technological giants, calling them “completely wrong.”
