Washington D.C. – On Monday, President Donald Trump revealed a significant breakthrough in negotiations with China regarding the ownership of TikTok, the popular social media app. Trump hinted that a deal had been reached that would settle the long-standing dispute over TikTok’s American operations. The framework agreement, confirmed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, aims to transfer TikTok’s ownership to the United States, ensuring the app continues to operate without a ban.
This development comes after months of intense talks addressing security concerns raised by the U.S. government. The TikTok deal was a key issue amid ongoing trade discussions between the two largest world economies, with deadlines looming on tariffs and the threat of a TikTok ban if no agreement was made.
The announced framework indicates progress toward resolving the focus on TikTok’s future ownership and operation within the U.S. market. President Trump additionally announced he plans to speak with China’s President Xi Jinping this Friday to finalize details.
The deal has garnered considerable attention among lawmakers, with some Congress members pushing for close scrutiny to ensure the deal meets U.S. security and economic interests. The outcome could have broad implications for U.S.-China relations and the future of digital media regulation.
