The EU&#x27;s increasingly aggressive attacks on US tech giants has given the US some serious ammunition. It&#x27;s going to get a lot uglier yet. The US just nearly bankrupted VW. The DOJ is seeking up to $48 billion in their lawsuit; settling for a likely fraction of that will hammer VW. They could have easily let them off with a modest slap on the wrist, and instead chose to put on the full-court press. It&#x27;s retribution and likely just the start of a back and forth between the US and EU.
