Why it matters

The US has imposed visa sanctions on former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton and others in response to the EU's proposed Digital Markets Act, which the US views as an attempt to impose 'global censorship'. France has condemned the move, calling it an attack on its sovereignty. The move is likely to escalate tensions between the US and EU over tech regulations.
