BRUSSELS, May 12 (Reuters) - Henna Virkkunen, the

European Union's tech commissioner, will go to the United States

on Tuesday, an EU spokesperson said on Monday, following phone

conversations with Meta's Mark Zuckerberg.

Brussels has moved forward with billions of euros' worth of

fines against U.S. tech companies amid trade tensions with

Washington. U.S. tech giants have said the EU is unfairly

targeting them.

"It is an important visit to the United States," the

spokesperson added.
