Zuckerberg met with Trump before recent tariff threat

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg ( pictured) reportedly met with US President Donald Trump to discuss the threat of digital market taxes against US companies, ahead of the latter's threat to impose tariffs on nations which do not remove such legislation. Bloomberg reported yesterday (28 August) Zuckerberg met with Trump last week to talk about the threat of countries attacking US players by instituting digital rules and taxes against them.

But as we've pointed out here multiple times, Zuckerberg - and the rest of Big Tech's leaders - aren't just trying to stay off Trump's list of targets.
