Donald Trump has given Americans an update on TikTok’s future in the country not long after China took steps to retaliate against the US’ newest tariffs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0has issued a statement about whether\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0will be banned in the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0following an extension to see if the\u00a0company<\/a>\u00a0could be sold.<\/p>\n

Writing on his social media platform on Friday, Trump insisted progress had been made but more still needed to be done in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Trump also defended to the global tariffs he unveiled earlier this week and\u00a0China<\/a>‘s response to them, calling the US’ move necessary for good trade relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday (April 3), the president said that the US was ‘very close’ to securing a buyer of the\u00a0app<\/a>, however, he did not give details on who that may be.<\/p>\n

Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said ‘multiple investors’ were close to securing a deal, with reports of a number of potential buyers being in the frame.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Chickering, principal analyst at Forrester, said that it was ‘highly unlikely’ that TikTok would ‘go dark’ again, as it did briefly in January, and that ‘all signs point to a deal or another extension’ if a seller isn’t confirmed by the end of the next 75 days.<\/p>\n

The whole issue initially arose when the US government passed a law demanding that ByteDance, TikTok\u2019s Chinese parent company, sell the platform due to national security concerns.<\/p>\n

The fear was that Beijing could use the app to harvest data about American citizens or use it to influence individuals in America. China has denied both of these accusations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
