Trump is expected to sign off on the TikTok deal on Thursday, according to a White House official. After months of rumors and political back-and-forths, we finally have some more concrete details about a TikTok sale. On Monday, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the US is endorsing a bid from a consortium of majority US investors who will own and operate TikTok in the US.
Main Idea: The White House says President Donald Trump is set to back a TikTok deal that would let ByteDance keep the app running in the US under new American ownership and oversight.
Key Points:
Some US users may face less privacy risk,. The deal still keeps TikTok running under a plan shaped by Trump, Oracle, and big investors, so rules and oversight may remain uncertain.
