Trump claims US TikTok deal agreed with Xi Jinping
['Chris Price']
Tech Digest
ShareUS President Donald Trump has announced that a deal for the future of TikTok’s US operations has been agreed with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping following a phone call between the two leaders on Friday.
The proposed deal would allow TikTok to continue operating in the US, thereby averting a ban that the Trump administration has repeatedly delayed.
Despite the President’s optimism, details of the agreement remain vague, particularly regarding the powerful algorithm that drives TikTok’s content recommendations.
Trump told reporters that a deal still had to be signed and that the US would have “very tight control” of the app.
A statement from TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, also thanked both leaders for their “efforts to preserve TikTok” but provided no further details on the status of a deal.
