Rulings, antitrust and regulation that restructure industries.

Two landmark precedents are shaping the rules landscape. Brussels is finalising its largest-ever Digital Markets Act penalty against Google for search self-preferencing, remedies are more consequential than the fine, a transatlantic flashpoint with Washington threatening tariff retaliation. In Washington, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Helms-Burton Title III strips sovereign immunity from Cuban state companies, unlocking ExxonMobil's >$1B claim from 1960 nationalisations and hundreds of similar pending suits; the decision complicates any quiet US-Cuba normalisation track and sets a sovereign-immunity precedent that Venezuela and Iran claimants will cite. A third precedent arrived June 12: the US Commerce Department applied Export Administration Regulations to a commercial AI model API for the first time, forcing Anthropic to globally suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5, every foreign national on earth barred from the models. Four bipartisan Congress members demanded written justification from Commerce by June 26. Watch late-July EU DMA decisions, the US tariff response, and the Commerce reply on AI export controls.
