After record Google fine, EU's Vestager says she likes the U.S.

After record Google fine, EU's Vestager says she likes the U.S.EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said she "very much liked" the United States, countering a reported remark by President Donald Trump that she "hated" the country because of her antitrust actions against U.S. firms. "I very much like the U.S.," Vestager told a news conference to announce a record fine on Google after she was asked about what Trump was quoted as saying at a G7 summit last month. The U.S. president told Vestager's boss, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, "your tax lady, she hates the U.S.", according to summit participants.
