US President Donald Trump says his administration is in conversations with four groups interested in buying Tiktok after Bytedance is forced to sell the platform
United States President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration is in negotiations with four groups interested in buying Tiktok.
“We are dealing with four different groups. And many people want it, and it depends on me, ”he said aboard Air Force One. The Republican didn’t reveal the names of the groups involved, but stressed that” the four are good. “
On January 19, a law that requires the Chinese company bytedance, owner of Tiktok, entered into force, under penalty of ban on operating in the country. Washington justifies the measure as a matter of national security, fearing that the Chinese government use Tiktok to spy on Americans or manipulate public opinion.
After law approval, Tiktok suspended his activities in the United States, but Trump decided.
Among the potential buyers are the Microsoft and Oracle giants, as well as an initiative promoted by the tycoon Frank McCourt. Also negotiating is a group that includes MRBEAST, one of the most followed content creators in the world.
