US Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder told CNBC that the EU must dial back regulation of US tech companies to participate in the AI economy, saying 'you can't over-regulate and move the goal post on regulations and hit companies with huge fines.' Comes after EU fined Meta €200M, Apple €500M, Google €2.95B, and X €120M in the past year. Puzder argues the EU needs US data centers, data access, and AI hardware stack — framing AI infrastructure as geopolitical leverage.
