With Big Tech in his corner and Brussels holding firm, the transatlantic calm is quickly unraveling. Sanctions, tariffs, and a digital war are now on the table. Is the EU ready to push back?

00:00The EU thought it had tamed Trump's tariff tantrums.

00:03But less than 24 hours later, he blew it all up.

00:06European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

00:08called her trade deal with Trump solid if imperfect.

00:12It was meant to end years of draining transatlantic tension.

00:15But Trump? He had other plans.

00:18Just one day after her op-ed hit newspapers,

00:20Trump took to social media to threaten a fresh wave of tariffs.

00:24This time, the target is Europe's strict digital laws,

00:28like the DSA and DMA,

00:30which Trump claims unfairly punish American tech giants.

00:33He didn't name the EU directly.

00:35But with Silicon Valley backing him and Brussels holding its ground,

00:39the message was loud and clear.

00:41Even sanctions against EU officials are now being considered.

00:44All because Europe dares to regulate big tech on its own terms.

00:48The handshake may have been real.

00:50But the peace?

00:51It was an illusion.

00:52The EU-US trade war isn't over.

00:55It's just entering a darker digital chapter.

00:57To be fair.
