"The approach could also set a precedent. By targeting European regulators, Washington undercuts its own long-standing opposition to extraterritorial law and could encourage countries such as China or India to adopt similar tactics against US officials. Analysts say the fallout from rising US-EU tensions is already visible, with global projects delayed, duplicate systems built to satisfy political requirements, and reputational risks for firms seen as aligning too closely with Washington."
""Expect higher compliance costs and legal risk from intensified DSA and DMA enforcement in the short term if Trump goes through with this (potential fines under DSA & DMA, plus remediation mandates and audits)," Mittal said. "Prepare for conflicting orders between US measures and EU law, requiring clear escalation paths, local entity decision rights, and scenario playbooks for service continuity.""
Targeting European regulators risks undercutting Washington's long-standing opposition to extraterritorial law and could prompt China, India, or other countries to adopt similar measures against US officials. Rising US-EU tensions have already delayed global projects, led to duplicate systems to satisfy political requirements, and created reputational risks for firms perceived as aligned with Washington. Intensified enforcement of the EU's DSA and DMA could raise compliance costs and legal exposure, including potential fines, remediation mandates, and audits. Companies should prepare for conflicting orders by establishing clear escalation paths, local entity decision rights, and scenario playbooks to maintain service continuity.
