Shortly before the end of a deadline in the US for the sale of Tikkok, President Donald Trump spoke about an upcoming solution. “We are about to deal with a very good group of people,” Trump said on Thursday (local time).
Tikok threatens the ban in the United States if the Chinese parent company Bytedance does not sell the immensely popular video platform to an American investor. The deadline set for this for this ends on Saturday at 00:00 US East Coast period (6 hours of middle -European period).
Trump said on board the presidential machine Air Force One about the possible solution for Tikkok that “multiple” investors were involved. He gave no details. Vice -President JD Vance told The Fox News Television Station that Trump would announce the Tiktok Regulation for the deadline.
Trump promises customs negotiations
Trump himself indicated that Tikkok could be part of an agreement with China that deals with the American rates for Chinese input. When asked if he was ready to negotiate rates with countries, the president said: “As long as they give us something good. For example, Tikkok.”
Trump continued: “We have a situation with Tikkok in which China will probably say: we will agree with a deal, but do you want to do something with the rates?” The rates gave the United States a “great power of negotiations,” the president emphasized.
On Wednesday, Trump had imposed new rates against China on Wednesday only on Wednesday and they should come into effect next Wednesday. Together with earlier import costs, customs have imposed allowances to China since the Trump office in January. China responded with against -tariffs.
Previous investors could find independent company
According to Media reports, the most promising solution for Tikkok is that earlier investors use their shares to find a new Tiktok company that is independent of Bytedance. Extra investors would therefore be added to this new company, including the Oracle software group and the investment company Blackstone.
A large part of the Tikk activities in the US is already on Oracle servers and Oracle boss Larry Ellison is an old Trump all-fellow.
An initiative called “The People’s Bid for Tiktok”, which goes back to the real estate and sports magazine Frank McCourt. The startup for artificial intelligence (AI) perplexity and a group around MRBeast, a producer of popular YouTube videos, also showed interest in purchasing the video platform. According to the “New York Times”, the online giant Amazon had recently explained his interest to buy Tiktok.
Tikok in the US short offline
The law for the sale of Tiktok was entered into force on January 19, a day before the start of Trump’s term of office. Trump then exposed the law on January 21 for 75 days. Tikkok had previously accepted his company in the US for a short time and had disappeared from the app stores. After Trump then expanded the deadline, Tiktok unlocked his app again. The app appeared in stores later.
The law on the sale of Tiktok was due to the fear that Bytedance is abused the platform in the service of China to spy on users. Tikok denies this.
Tikok is extremely popular with young people and has made up competitors such as Facebook and Instagram during usage times. Tiktok has more than a billion users worldwide and there are more than 170 million in the United States.
Trump used to be argued for a ban on Tikk, but was more and more friends with the app. He has an impact on her that he received more support from younger people in the elections last November than in previous elections. One of Trump’s most important donors, the billionaire Jeff Yass, has larger shares in Bytedance.
