Trump denies talks with Oracle about a TikTok deal but says a decision will likely be made within 30 days

Trump reportedly told reporters during an Air Force One flight that he has been in talks with "numerous people" about a potential deal to "save TikTok."

Trump signed an executive order shortly after taking office on Monday that delays the enforcement of the TikTok ban by 75 days, giving the app’s parent company ByteDance more time to figure out a deal that would allow it to continue US operations.
