Trump's economic adviser: 'We're taking a look' at whether Google searches should be regulated

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is "taking a look" at whether Google and its search engine should be regulated by the government, said Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump's economic adviser, outside the White House Tuesday.

The announcement puts the search giant squarely in the White House's crosshairs amid wider allegations against the tech industry that it systematically discriminates against conservatives on social media and other platforms.

Kudlow's remark to reporters came hours after Trump fired off a series of predawn tweets complaining about Google search results for "Trump News."
