They are the main drivers of competitiveness,\u201d the commission\u2019s executive vice-president told the Financial Times.<\/p>\n<p>Following the EU\u2019s multi-billion-dollar fines against Google and Apple earlier this year, Trump threatened to impose further tariffs on the bloc, accusing it of \u201cdiscriminatory actions\u201d that he argued would impact US taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>Since Trump\u2019s return to the White House earlier this year, EU-US relations have come under strain due to disputes over trade, defense spending and digital regulation.<\/p>\n<p>Washington and Brussels have also increasingly clashed over the Ukraine conflict settlement process, with Trump sidelining the EU and UK from peace talks earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Kiev\u2019s Western European backers have moved to sabotage the US president\u2019s settlement roadmap, while preparing for a direct conflict with Russia, according to Moscow.&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211; The European Commission\u2019s vice-president, Teresa Ribera, said in a Financial Times interview published Friday that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[14040,47057,5771,27861,85235,136495,5483,114115,2000,299,5187,3240,8453,30773,256,462,41,78197,57412,10518,7574,173506,201316,50176,49087,201315,153382,61939,5598,15822,6093,1757,978,182707,201314,10215],"class_list":{"0":"post-658511","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-but","10":"tag-can","11":"tag-commission","12":"tag-commissions","13":"tag-demands","14":"tag-donald","15":"tag-engage","16":"tag-eu","17":"tag-europe","18":"tag-european","19":"tag-financial","20":"tag-friday","21":"tag-his","22":"tag-in","23":"tag-interview","24":"tag-islam","25":"tag-listen","26":"tag-never","27":"tag-not","28":"tag-president","29":"tag-published","30":"tag-ribera","31":"tag-said","32":"tag-should","33":"tag-submit","34":"tag-teresa","35":"tag-that","36":"tag-the","37":"tag-times","38":"tag-to","39":"tag-trump","40":"tag-us","41":"tag-vice","42":"tag-vp","43":"tag-yield"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115793701503502529","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
