The White House has called fines on Apple and Meta platforms by the European Union, another form of economic extortion that the United States will not tolerate.
Apple was fined €500 million on Wednesday and Meta €200 million, as EU antitrust regulators handed out the first sanctions on the landmark legislation aimed at curbing the power of big tech.
The fines were seen as a development could stoke tensions between the EU and US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to levy tariffs against countries that penalise American companies.
The fines followed a year-long investigation by the European Commission into whether the companies comply with the Digital Markets Act that seeks to allow small arrivals into markets dominated by the biggest companies.
