Donald Trump says that “a very rich group” agreed to buy Tiktok in the United States | US News

Donald Trump said the US government had found a buyer for Tiktok that he would reveal “in about two weeks”.

The president told Fox News “it’s a very rich group of people”, adding: “I think I will probably need approval in China, I think President Xi will like it.”

Tiktok was ordered last year to find a new owner for his American operation – or face a ban – after politicians said they feared that sensitive data on Americans can be transmitted to the Chinese government.

The owner of the video application, Bytedance, has repeatedly denied such complaints.

Originally, he had a deadline of January 19 to find a buyer – and many users were shocked when he “turned dark” for a number of hours when this date arrived, before being restored later.

However, President Trump Now has extended the deadline on several occasions.

The last extension took place on June 19, when the president signed another decree which postponed him until September 17.

Trump’s latest comments suggest that several people come together to take control of the application in the United States.

Among those Rumors are potential buyers Include the youtube superstar M. Beast, Us Search Engine Startup Perplexity AI and Kevin O’Leary – A Shark Tank investor (the American version of Dragons’ Den).

Bytedance said in April that he was still talking to the American government, but there were “differences on many key questions”.

It is believed that the Chinese government will have to approve any agreement.

President Trump’s interview with Fox News also addressed the next end of the break in American prices on imported goods.

On April 9, he granted a 90 -day stay for countries threatened with a rate of more than 10% in order to give them time to negotiate.

Offers have already been concluded with certain countries, including the United Kingdom.

The president said that he did not think that he will have to postpone the deadline of July 9 and that letters would be sent by imminently indicating which price each country would face.

“We will examine the deficit we have-or anything with the country; we will examine how the country treats us-are they good, they are not so good. Some countries, we do not care-we will simply send a high number,” he said.

“But we are going to send letters starting very soon. We don’t have to meet, we have all the figures.”

The president announced the prices in April, arguing that they were correcting an unjust commercial relationship and would make the loss of prosperity towards the American industries such as the manufacture of cars.
