I think you meant US companies. The fine for Volkswagen was $20B+.



That's why the EU needs to kick out big tech and be much more unfriendly to US companies, have its own atomic bombs and security and not be dependant on a country that every election it's foreign policy completely changes (Democrats vs. republicans)

It feels like US can hit as much as they can EU companies, but EU needs to create a whole new regulation to slap a $1B fine in a 2 trillion company from the US.
