Digital policy clash delays EU-US trade statement
A joint EU-US trade statement has been delayed due to disagreements over digital regulation, according to the Financial Times. The dispute centers on the EU’s push to prioritize its own digital rules, particularly around platform accountability and data privacy. The delay follows a broader agreement reached last month in Scotland but exposes ongoing tensions around aligning transatlantic digital frameworks.
The standoff underscores fundamental differences in digital governance between the EU and US, with implications for tech companies navigating both markets.
