In a recent statement, President Donald Trump revealed that the U.S. is currently engaging with four separate groups interested in acquiring TikTok, a popular social media platform owned by ByteDance. He mentioned, “We’re dealing with four different groups, and a lot of people want it … all four are good,” but did not specify who these potential buyers are.
The application has been under scrutiny for security concerns, with Trump suggesting a preference for eliminating Chinese control over the app, potentially by selling it to American interests. This comes as TikTok faces possible bans in the U.S., a move that has been on the table since Trump’s first term, stirring debate on privacy and national security.
As discussions continue, it remains uncertain whether ByteDance will opt to sell TikTok or risk a complete ban in one of its largest markets.
