Trump Says the US ’Pretty Much’ Has a Deal on TikTok
- On July 4, 2025, US President Donald Trump indicated that an agreement is nearly finalized for the transfer of TikTok’s US operations to affluent investors.
- This followed previous negotiations where the Chinese firm ByteDance was required to divest its US assets by September 17, 2025, amid ongoing US-China trade tensions.
- Trump stated he expected talks with China, possibly including President Xi Jinping or his representatives, to begin July 7 or 8 to finalize the TikTok deal.
- When questioned about his certainty regarding China's approval, Trump expressed some doubt yet remained somewhat optimistic about reaching an agreement, despite previous claims of progress.
- The potential deal implies continued US efforts to enforce national security measures while balancing trade relations, but TikTok's future in the US remains conditional on China's agreement.
