Sure, a lot of American tech companies on the list, who were fined for their absolutely egregious and illegal actions.
Daimler, Scania, DAF, Saint Gobain, Philips, Deutsche Bank and others are very European companies.
It just seems more an issue that the American press in general just isn't very interested what happens in the rest of the world. Except if it involves an American company that is.
If you don't believe that I suggest that you compare international reporting in The New York Times (arguably one of the papers with the highest proportion of international news) with a Frankfurter Allgemeine, or Neue Zürcher Zeitung, say.

I don't have the data, but I'll bet $1000 that the majority of US anti-trust fines are nor targeted towards foreign companies, rather domestic. Europe imposes regulatory sanctions it seems for GDPR and anti-trust that disproportionately target foreign companies that seems clear.
