Aug 28 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms ( META ) CEO Mark

Zuckerberg had visited U.S. President Donald Trump last week to

discuss the threat of digital service taxes, Bloomberg News

reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the private

meeting.

Days after the meeting, Trump threatened countries that have

digital taxes with "subsequent additional tariffs" on their

goods if those nations do not remove such legislation.

Meta and the White House did not immediately respond to

Reuters' request for comment on the report.

Trump's administration is considering imposing sanctions on

the EU or member state officials responsible for the Digital

Services Act, over complaints that it censors Americans and

imposes costs on U.S. tech firms, Reuters reported on Monday.

Many countries, particularly in Europe, have levied taxes on

the sales revenue of digital service providers, including

Alphabet's Google, Meta, Apple ( AAPL ) and Amazon ( AMZN )

.

The issue has been a longstanding trade irritant for

multiple U.S. administrations.

The majority of Meta's revenue comes from its core

advertising business. The company in July reported revenue of

$47.52 billion for the quarter ended June 30, surpassing

analysts' average estimate of $44.80 billion.
