Trump Confirms Microsoft is in Talks to Buy TikTok
On Monday, former US President Donald Trump revealed that Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok, as the app’s future in the United States remains uncertain.
TikTok has been under pressure due to a US law requiring the app to separate from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face a potential ban in the country. Trump was asked by reporters if Microsoft was in negotiations to buy the popular app, to which he confirmed, saying, “I would say yes.”
He also noted that there is significant interest in TikTok, adding, “There’s great interest in TikTok.” Trump suggested that a bidding war for the app could also be a positive development.
