Trump administration continues antitrust lawsuits against Silicon Valley giants

courant.com

Silicon Valley tech leaders have made overtures to President Trump, who has returned to office. Despite this, his administration continues to pursue antitrust lawsuits against major companies like Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, which are accused of monopolistic practices. The U.S. Department of Justice has reiterated its demand for Google to sell its Chrome browser, a move that signals ongoing legal action. The lawsuits against these companies could lead to significant changes in their business structures. Trump's nominee to lead the Justice Department's antitrust division, Gail Slater, has been confirmed and will focus on enforcing antitrust laws. The future of these cases remains uncertain, as state attorneys general may continue them even if federal agencies withdraw.
