US President Donald Trump has said a deal for TikTok’s Chinese parent firm to sell the platform will be in place before a deadline on Saturday
The April 5 deadline was set by the president when he entered office in January, with ByteDance having until then to find a non-Chinese buyer for TikTok’s US business or face a ban on national security grounds.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One late on Sunday, Mr Trump said “we have a lot of potential buyers”, and there was “tremendous interest in TikTok” and that he would “like to see TikTok remain alive”.
It has been reported that TikTok’s existing non-Chinese shareholders have emerged as the front-runners to takeover the firm’s US business from Beijing-based ByteDance.
