Trump says he has group of ‘very wealthy people’ ready to buy TikTok

General News

Summary

Trump said he has a group of very wealthy people ready to buy TikTok and said he could disclose their identities in about two weeks. He suggested the deal would likely need approval from Beijing and from Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The article explains that TikTok’s U.S. future remains tied to a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest or face a ban. It also notes that Trump extended the divestiture deadline to Sept. 17 and that several potential buyers, including Oracle-linked interests and AI firms, have shown interest. Any sale could still face legal and regulatory hurdles in both the U.S. and China.
