Trump expected to shift antitrust policy, stop Google breakup

Will Trump’s changes reshape Big Tech’s future?

Donald Trump is expected to ease Biden’s antitrust policies, including a potential halt to breaking up Google. While cases against Big Tech will continue, Trump’s recent remarks suggest he favours a fairer approach rather than splitting Google over its search dominance.

The DOJ is pursuing two major cases against Google, with potential remedies delayed until 2025. This gives Trump time to influence the outcome. Experts predict Trump may roll back stricter merger rules and other business restrictions from the Biden era.

Changes to FTC leadership could further shift policy in Trump’s favour.
