Trump claims a 'very wealthy' group will buy TikTok without revealing who


In an interview with Fox News, the president said a buyer for TikTok will be announced in two weeks.

When asked to identify the buyer, Trump only cryptically revealed that it was a "group of very wealthy people," which would be announced in "about two weeks." As the future of TikTok remains in a state of uncertainty, Trump said the extensions were "no big deal" during the interview with Fox News. More than 170 million active US users are awaiting a final decision on TikTok, which is developed by the Beijing-based ByteDance that's facing pressure to either sell its app or have it banned due to data privacy and " national security" concerns.
