A new EU antitrust investigation has been opened in response to a series of probes initiated by the bloc last week, escalating a tit-for-tat trade dispute between the European Union and another major economy.

Analysts warn the escalation could disrupt cross-border business operations and strain diplomatic relations. The latest probe targets a key sector where competition concerns have already drawn scrutiny from Brussels.
