The EU suspends its investigation into the X platform amid US-EU trade negotiations

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, the European Commission has suspended its investigation into Musk's X platform for violating the EU's Digital Services Act. Currently, the EU is focused on completing trade negotiations with the United States.

According to three officials, the EU originally planned to complete the investigation before the summer recess, but it will now be unable to meet that deadline. They noted that relevant decisions may follow once the results of the EU-U.S. trade negotiations become clear.

The EU has launched multiple investigations into X under the Digital Services Act, which has become a focal point of contention between the EU and large U.S. tech companies supported by the Trump administration, which claims that the EU is unfairly targeting American businesses.

EU officials stated that trade negotiations have made all decisions related to the U.S. particularly sensitive, as no one wants to offend Trump and escalate transatlantic trade conflicts.
