So… is there a TikTok deal or not?

China and the United States have made progress in granting permission to sell Tiktok to an American consortium and met a nine -month legal requirement. After a preliminary deal was achieved on Monday and this permit would be made on Friday, President Donald Trump's administration has published an update that has the current status ambiguous and the details have just had a bone bone. " Productive call with President XI from China completed. In many very important topics, including trade, fentanyl, we have the need to bring the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the approval of the Tikok deal "Trump in Korea" in October in October in Korea in October. "The call was very good, we will speak again by phone, appreciate Tikok's approval, and both look forward to the meeting at APEC!" "Appreciate the approval of Tikkok" makes XIS blessing like a completed business. "We have made progress," does not. Tiktok has published a ambiguous answer to X. "We thank President Xi Jinping and President Donald J. Trump for their efforts to preserve Tikok in the United States," it said. "By -dance will work in accordance with the applicable laws to ensure that Tiktok is still available to American users via Tikok, US -American." This effectively leaves us the same place as we did at the beginning of this week when the Trump government announced that a "framework" agreement had been made. It was not long after that it extended the sales deadline in January 2025 for the fourth time. The reporting on Tuesday showed that the deal could actually take 30 to 45 days. The expected buyers are a consortium that includes Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz and the Susquehanna International Group. According to reports, bytedance retains a share of 20 percent, as is prescribed by a sales or Ban laws adopted in 2024. It is expected that she canceled a version of the app with a new recommendation that algorithm has voted from Chinese control. Tikok users are now still in the dark about the future of their app - hoping that another trade war will not throw a wrench in the agreement without the timeline for the resolution being within sight.
