European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday defended the European Union’s digital regulations that fine U.S. technology companies amid threats from President Donald Trump.

“I want to be crystal clear on one point: Whether on environmental or digital regulation, we set our own standards, we set our own regulations,” von der Leyen said during her annual State of the Union address in Strasbourg, France. “Europe will always decide for itself.”
