• A senior White House official said Oracle will serve as security provider for TikTok in the U.S., hosting a copy of the recommendation engine, inspecting it continuously, and blocking ByteDance from accessing American user data.

• The proposed U.S. entity would be majority owned by American investors at roughly 80%, with ByteDance holding under 20% and a board dominated by U.S. citizens, including six of seven seats as described by the White House.
• President Trump is expected to sign an executive order this week declaring the transaction compatible with U.S. national security, and the administration plans an additional 120‑day extension of the enforcement deadline to finalize details.
• Trump named potential backers including Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison and Michael Dell, while China has not issued a clear public approval, with its embassy citing only a basic framework pending reviews on technology export and IP licensing.
