EU Lawmaker Stands Against Trump's Tariffs, Urges Europe to Defend Digital Principles
Manuela Ripa, a Saarländische Europaabgeordnete, has spoken out against President Trump's tariff threats. She urges Europe to maintain its democratic principles in shaping the digital future. Ripa's comments come amidst widespread US interest group support for the EU's digital laws.
Ripa, addressing Trump's tariff threats, asserts that Europe should not be swayed by such pressures. She believes the EU's digital laws, DSA and DMA, are crucial for protecting Europe's digital sovereignty and fair competition online. These laws, she argues, are not trade barriers but safeguards for fundamental rights in the digital realm.
Ripa's stance echoes the sentiment of various US interest groups. Actors' unions, screenwriters, and music industry representatives have welcomed the EU's digital laws. They consider them exemplary, demonstrating a shared commitment to protecting digital rights and fair competition across the Atlantic.
Manuela Ripa has made it clear that Europe should not back down from its digital principles despite US pressure. The EU's digital laws, supported by US interest groups, are seen as a model for protecting digital sovereignty and fair competition. The stage is set for a dialogue between the US and EU on digital regulation.
