EU Delays Investigation Against X Amid Trade Negotiations with the US

The European Union is suspending its investigation against the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, amid ongoing trade negotiations with the United States. This is reported by the Financial Times.

“All of this is interconnected,” an informed official told the newspaper. According to this source, the EU was expected to announce the results of the investigation during the summer but may miss that deadline. The decision hinges on the progress of trade talks between Washington and Brussels, as no one wants to offend US President Donald Trump and escalate transatlantic trade tensions.
