Trump says he has group of ‘very wealthy’ people to buy TikTok
US president says there’s a buyer for China-based TikTok, but won’t divulge names yet
US President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview broadcast on Sunday that he had found a buyer for the TikTok short-video app, which he described as a group of “very wealthy people” whose identities he will reveal “in about two weeks”.
It’s a time frame Trump often cites, most recently about a decision on whether the US military would get directly involved in the war between Israel and Iran. The US struck Iranian nuclear sites just days later.
Trump made the remarks in an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. He said the deal he was developing would probably need China’s approval to move forward and he predicted Chinese President Xi Jinping would be likely to approve it.
