WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald

Trump on Friday criticized the European Union's decision to fine

Google $3.46 billion over antitrust concerns and threatened a

wider trade probe against the EU in response to the move.

"We cannot let this happen to brilliant and unprecedented

American Ingenuity and, if it does, I will be forced to start a

Section 301 proceeding to nullify the unfair penalties being

charged to these Taxpaying American Companies," Trump wrote on

Truth Social.
