LoginFate of Google’s search empire could rest in Trump’s hands
A few weeks before the US presidential election, Donald Trump suggested that a breakup of Google's search business may not be an appropriate remedy to destroy the tech giant's search monopoly.
"Right now, China is afraid of Google," Trump said at a Chicago event. If that threat were dismantled, Trump suggested, China could become a greater threat to the US, because the US needs to have "great companies" to compete.
Trump's comments came about a week after the US Department of Justice proposed remedies in the Google monopoly trial, including mulling a breakup.
