The European Union should be ready to break the trade agreement with the US if the country's President Donald Trump does not stop putting pressure on the community over the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), the European Commission's executive vice president Teresa Ribera, said in an interview with The Financial Times, APA reports.

"We may be kind, polite, try to find ways to solve problems and discrepancies but we cannot accept whatever [they demand]. We cannot be subject to the will of a third country," she said.

The EC deputy head added that the community cannot jettison its values "just to accommodate the concerns of others."

Ribera stressed that the EU will not stop investigations against American tech giants because of Trump's threats. According to her, these companies "are making great profits out of this (European - TASS) market, but they are subject to the same laws and regulations as any other player."
