"Even when we've lost cases in European courts, Microsoft has long respected and complied with European laws," Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a blog post on Wednesday .

Smith 's comments are part of a charm offensive Microsoft is making in Europe this week , after tensions between the U.S. and European Union ratcheted up over trade tariffs.
