At a Bloomberg seminar, Donald Trump expressed his opinion on the antitrust case involving the United States Department of Justice’s suggestion to break up Google to address market dominance in search. He disagreed with the idea of splitting up the company as it could benefit China in the technology war against the US.
Trump suggested that China might leverage fear to influence Google if the US decides to break up the tech giant into multiple companies, potentially harming Google’s competitiveness and reducing the US’s ability to compete.
Trump’s stance may not be surprising, as the Republican Party often leans towards allowing large corporations to operate freely, unlike the Democratic Party, which places a greater emphasis on consumer protection.
