President Donald Trump announced today that a deal has been reached to allow the popular social media app TikTok to continue operating in the United States. The agreement involves Oracle and Walmart acquiring a stake in TikTok’s US operations.
The deal comes after weeks of negotiations and political tensions surrounding TikTok’s potential ban in the US due to national security concerns. President Trump had previously issued an executive order demanding that TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sell its US operations to an American company or face a ban.
Oracle will become TikTok’s secure cloud provider and will partner with Walmart to form a new entity, TikTok Global, which will be headquartered in the US. Trump stated that the new deal will create 25,000 jobs and establish TikTok Global as a US-based company, complying with his demand to address national security issues.
Both Oracle and Walmart have expressed support for the agreement, highlighting the importance of data privacy and security. TikTok has also welcomed the deal, emphasizing its commitment to protecting user data and continuing to provide a platform for creativity and entertainment.
The details of the deal are still being finalized, and it remains subject to approval by the US government. However, this development marks a significant step towards resolving the uncertainty surrounding TikTok’s future in the US.
