The kind of change the EU is primarily pursuing is of the monetary sort. They're looking to use fines against the US tech giants as a golden pot to raid to fill their $81 billion post Brexit budget hole. [1]
This will continue for many years. The EU will attempt to extract tens of billions of dollars in fines from US companies, as much as they can by any means they can for as long as they can.
The proper US response is to begin targeting prominent EU companies to damage financially. The US economy will recover much faster than the EU economy - as with the great recession - and that should be used to maximum advantage.
