As the deadline for a potential TikTok sale approaches, President Trump has expressed confidence that an agreement can be reached with ByteDance, the app's Chinese parent company. Speaking from Air Force One, he emphasized the significant interest in TikTok and mentioned that he would like to see it continue operating in the U.S. The April 5 deadline requires ByteDance to divest or face a nationwide ban, but Trump indicated a willingness to extend the deadline if necessary. Various potential buyers, including a consortium backed by billionaire Frank McCourt and AI startup Perplexity, have emerged, but ByteDance's stance on selling TikTok remains unclear.
