This is politics. The US act exactly the same way against EU companies: https://www.pharmavoice.com/news/ftc-request-novo-catalent-deal-ozempic-lilly/717243/ ht

  That's kind of my point. This isn't "consumer protection", it's a shakedown of a US company by the EU. I think that the incoming US administration will seek to play politics more aggressively than the current admin.

    Probably - or at least that is the rhetorics. However, it is not clear that this is not in balance already. The discussion thread seems to believe that the EU is being harsher to the US than the other way around.

    Shakedown? It's the fucking law, either these companies follow it if they want to do business or they get punished. I understand that the US justice system has a very porous concept of who has to follow the law or not but that's not how it should work.
