Will the U.S. open a trade investigation into EU fines on Google or Apple by August 7, 2026?

🤖 Context

YES if, on or before 5:00 PM Eastern on August 7, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative posts a formal notice of initiation on its official website or the U.S. Federal Register publishes a notice of initiation explicitly stating the U.S. is opening a formal trade investigation into EU enforcement actions, fines, or penalties directed at Google LLC or Apple Inc. Otherwise NO. Public remarks by the President or the White House that do not include an official USTR or Federal Register initiation notice do not satisfy this market.
