"Could", but "won't".

Heck, under Trump rule, the US might declare any browser not Chrome as illegal.

I know it's probably been determined to be irrelevant in this case given the focus on Google's search division, and forcing Google to sell Chrome and unbundle it's apps from Android is ultimately a good thing that will have a positive impact both user privacy and open web standards, but I can't help but think that they should also be ordered to spin off AdSense.
