Jim Jordan, the chair of the US House of Judiciary, demanded that EU antitrust director Teresa Ribera explain how she implements EU regulations that limit Big Tech, claiming that they seem to target American businesses.

The request was made two days after US President Donald Trump signed a document threatening to scrutinize EU laws "that dictate how American companies interact with consumers in the European Union," including the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act.

To ensure a level playing field and provide customers with additional options, the Digital Markets Act lays out a list of dos and don'ts for Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Booking.com, ByteDance, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft.

The letter was co-signed by Scott Fitzgerald, the chairman of the subcommittee on administrative state, regulatory reform, and antitrust.

The letter criticized DMA regulations that might result in fines of up to 10 percent of global annual earnings.

Additionally, they made fun of the DMA requirements by claiming that some of them would be advantageous to China.

Ribera has denied targeting American corporations at the European Commission, where she is the second most influential official after Ursula von der Leyen, the commission's president.

The "trustful relationship" between the US and Europe has been upended by US President Donald Trump, according to the EU's competition head, and Brussels should concentrate on delivering the stability and predictability that Washington lacks.

Trump and other members of his administration have called out the European Union for having too many regulations and the "taxation" of fines levied by the EU on US tech.

US Vice President JD Vance claimed last week that EU "commissars" were stifling free expression because of provisions in the bloc's Digital Services Act that allow the EU to temporarily block access to a search engine or online platform in an emergency.
