Trump says he has 'a group of very wealthy people' to buy TikTok


Trump says he thinks China's president will probably approve a sale to the unidentified group.

President Donald Trump has said he has a buyer for TikTok, the video-sharing app that was banned in the US amid claims it posed a national security risk. A previous deal to sell TikTok to an American buyer fell apart in April, when the White House clashed with China over Trump's tariffs. The law was supposed to take effect on 19 January, but Trump has repeatedly delayed its enforcement through executive actions, moves that have drawn criticism for overruling congressional lawmakers.
