The European Union may respond to President Donald Trump’s newly imposed 20% tariffs on EU goods by regulating how American tech giants handle data, France’s Finance Minister Eric Lombard said in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche (JDD) published late Saturday. “We have several tools at our disposal at the European level: regulatory, fiscal, customs,” Lombard told the newspaper. “For example, we can strengthen certain environmental requirements or regulate the use of data by certain digital players.” Trump announced the tariffs on April 2, aiming to shake up the global trading system. In response, the EU—America’s largest trading partner—warned…
