07:08 AM EST, 11/27/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google's ( GOOG ) trial on the US Department of Justice's proposal to end the tech giant's dominance in online search will not be delayed when the DOJ switches to President-elect Donald Trump's administration, Reuters reported late Tuesday, citing Judge Amit Mehta who is overseeing the case.

The trial is set to take place in April and the judge will not move it even if DOJ officials appointed by Trump plan to amend the proposals, the report added, citing Mehta.

The DOJ said on Nov. 20 that Google ( GOOG ) must sell its Chrome browser and take other major steps to end its monopoly on internet searches.

"If there is going to be a re-evaluation of the remedies that are being requested, it needs to be done quickly," Reuters quoted Mehta as saying.

Neither Google ( GOOG ) nor the DOJ immediately responded to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
