The US President Donald Trump has announced that the Tiikkok video platform to sell a group of “very rich people”. He will reveal more in “about two weeks,” he said. The approval of Chinese President Xi Jinping is probably necessary for sale.
Trump expects to get them. A day before Trump’s office in January, a law came into force in the United States that prescribes the sale of Tiktok to the Chinese parent company Bytedance. Otherwise the platform is forbidden. This has the background that the authorities of the United States fear that the Chinese government can influence public opinion in its country through the platform.
According to the law, the American company from Tikok should be sold until January 19 or to be banned from the app stores. Trump has already expanded the deadline three times. He didn’t want the platform “to disappear from the scene,” said spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. According to her, the sale must contribute to the fact that the data of the users is protected.
“Tikok has a small, warm place in my heart,” Trump said in May. The platform has more than 170 million users in the United States and is especially popular with young people.
