TikTok Sale Deadline Looms as U.S. Government Prepares Final Decision

With the April 5 deadline approaching, ByteDance faces mounting pressure to sell TikTok's U.S. operations, while Amazon's bid is met with skepticism and Chinese government approval remains uncertain.

President Trump is expected to announce a resolution for TikTok's U.S. operations before the April 5 deadline, as negotiations intensify.
Amazon has submitted a bid to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations, but key stakeholders reportedly do not view the offer as serious.
Other potential buyers include Oracle, Blackstone, and OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely, though no clear frontrunner has emerged.
ByteDance continues to argue that selling only the U.S. portion of TikTok would dismantle the platform, complicating the sale process.
The Chinese government has not indicated whether it will approve the sale, adding uncertainty to the outcome of the negotiations.
