Meta Platforms Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg met privately with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House late last week, pressing the administration to oppose digital service taxes that several foreign governments are considering or have already enacted, according to people familiar with the discussions and a company statement confirming the meeting. Within days of the conversation, Trump publicly denounced the levies and warned he could impose retaliatory tariffs on countries that move ahead with the taxes, escalating tensions over how large technology companies are taxed abroad. The proposed digital taxes primarily target revenue generated by U.S. tech giants such as Meta, Alphabet’s Google and Amazon. Meta declined to provide details beyond confirming the meeting, while the White House had no immediate comment. The lobbying effort underscores the stakes for Silicon Valley as international negotiations over a broader overhaul of corporate tax rules remain stalled.
