Interesting!

Basically the EU is now able to force american companies to do things that the US regulator will not do, probably because Apple can manage to lobby US congress but not the EU parliament.

That probably means that US companies can probably help "counter" Apple on certain things as long as the EU sees that it benefits the consumer.

I don't know if Trump somehow caused this situation.

You know in a parallel world this headline is just "EU mandates Apple-designed P2P Wi-Fi standard". They did submit it for standardization after all, keeping to their proprietary one was just a transparent segmentation play.
