The head of the EU's antitrust division made it abundantly clear that they would not loosen regulations in the digital sector in exchange for the US reducing steel and aluminum tariffs. Earlier, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick put forward a proposal, suggesting that the EU modify its digital regulations to make it easier to reach an agreement on steel and aluminum tariffs. In response, European Commission Vice President Teresa Ribera emphasized that Europe's digital standards are non - negotiable. She further explained that these rules are formulated with the aim of upholding a fair market, safeguarding consumer rights, and protecting Europe's digital future.
