The Trump administration announced sanctions on Tuesday barring individuals Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States."
"The European Union released their own critical statement in response to Trump's move, writing that freedom of expression is a fundamental right in Europe and a shared core value with the United States across the democratic world. The Union further added that they would be willing to respond swiftly and decisively to defend our regulatory autonomy against unjustified measures. European Council President Antonio Costa used even stronger language, calling the sanctions unacceptable between allies, partners,"

European Council President Antonio Costa called the sanctions unacceptable between allies.
