The chairman of U.S. Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that the agency is "very interested" in learning more about the European Union’s record fine of Google.

The comments by a top U.S. antitrust enforcer at a House subcommittee hearing came just hours after the EU levied a $5 billion (4.3 billion euro) fine on the Alphabet Inc. company, ordering it to change the way it puts search and web browser apps on Android devices.
