US Trade Official Criticizes German Streaming Quotas as Trade Violation

28 Mayıs 2026Bloomberg

President Trump's trade chief has condemned a proposed German law that mandates American streaming services to invest in Germany's film industry. This legislation is viewed as discriminatory and is said to breach the trade agreement between the European Union and the United States.
The official's remarks highlight ongoing tensions regarding international trade practices and regulations in the digital media sector.
The proposed German law is part of a broader trend where countries are increasingly looking to regulate foreign digital services to support local content creation. This has implications not only for trade relations but also for how digital markets operate across borders.
The criticism from the US trade chief underscores the complexities of international trade agreements in the digital era. As countries seek to protect and promote their local industries, such measures can lead to friction with trade partners.
