This is the best summary I could come up with:

Bipartisan congressional representatives have sent a letter to President Joe Biden, demanding action over what they claim is the unfair targeting of US tech companies by the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

The letter [PDF], signed by 22 congresscritters, complains that, out of six gatekeepers designated earlier this year under the DMA, five are based in the US and none in the EU.

Gatekeepers, per the European Commission, are companies that “provide an important gateway between businesses and consumers in relation to core platform services.”

The representatives also took umbrage that large Chinese tech companies like Tencent, Alibaba, and Huawei weren’t included as gatekeepers, “despite the fact that they are competing aggressively with US firms in the EU and other markets.”

Samsung, having no other skin in the game, wasn’t otherwise included, while Alphabet and Microsoft’s other core platform services meant they stayed on the gatekeeper list.

“We strongly urge you to advocate for American companies and workers by insisting that EU policymakers administer and enforce their digital policies fairly,” the representatives asked of Biden, seemingly oblivious to the fact that, of the ten largest tech companies in the world, six of them are headquartered in the United States.
