Trump Signals TikTok Sale Talks With Four Potential Buyers

The U.S. government is working to address national security concerns as a deadline for TikTok's divestment looms in April.

President Trump stated that discussions are underway with four groups interested in purchasing TikTok, though no specific buyers were named.
The U.S. law requiring ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, to divest or face a ban was upheld by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Potential bidders reportedly include consortiums led by billionaire Frank McCourt and Employer.com founder Jesse Tinsley, as well as companies like Microsoft and Rumble.
The divestment deadline, currently set for April 5, could be extended by the administration if no sale is finalized in time.
Trump has suggested the U.S. government could seek a 50% stake in TikTok, though details on such a proposal remain unclear.
