Alphabet’s Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) recently met with the Trump administration, urging officials to step back from antitrust efforts aimed at breaking up the search giant, according to sources.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is advancing two major antitrust cases against Google—one targeting its search engine dominance and the other focused on advertising technology. Potential remedies include forcing Google to divest key assets like its Chrome browser and ending agreements that make it the default search engine on devices such as Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone.
A Google spokesperson stated that the company routinely engages with regulators, including the DOJ, and warned that the proposed measures could negatively impact the U.S. economy and national security. The DOJ has yet to comment.
A crucial trial in April will determine appropriate penalties, with a final decision expected in August. However, industry experts suggest that President Trump may ease some of the antitrust policies introduced under former President Joe Biden, potentially reconsidering efforts to break up Google.
Google’s dominance in search and digital advertising has made it a primary target for antitrust regulators, with the outcome of these cases expected to shape the future of competition in the tech industry.
