Deal is done to keep TikTok in the US, says Trump
A deal has been reached to allow the popular social media app TikTok to continue operating in the United States. President Donald Trump announced the agreement on Monday, stating that the app will be owned by a new company called TikTok Global. The deal is said to address the administration’s national security concerns regarding TikTok’s Chinese ownership.
Under the terms of the deal, Oracle and Walmart will take a minority stake in the new entity, TikTok Global, which will be headquartered in the US. Oracle will be responsible for hosting TikTok’s user data and securing computer systems to ensure the privacy and security of American users.
President Trump has approved the deal, which still needs to be formally signed by the involved parties. He referred to the agreement as a win for national security while also mentioning that TikTok Global has agreed to contribute $5 billion towards an education fund focused on teaching American children “the real history of our country.”
Both Oracle and Walmart have emphasized the potential benefits of the partnership. Oracle highlighted the importance of data security and user privacy, stating that they are committed to protecting American users’ information. Walmart has expressed interest in leveraging TikTok’s social commerce capabilities to reach more consumers and grow its business.
The fate of TikTok in the US has been uncertain for months due to national security concerns raised by the Trump administration. The app faced threats of being banned in the country unless it was acquired by an American company. With this new deal in place, it seems that TikTok will be able to continue its operations in the US under a different ownership structure.
