New Delhi: A major deal over TikTok is reportedly about to take place between the United States and China. To recall, Donald Trump had given TikTok a deadline until September 17. However, as the deadline approaches, an agreement on popular short-video platform TikTok is likely, which would allow the platform to continue operating in the US. Delegations between both China and the United States have reached a consensus, according to the reports. Now, it is up to President Donald Trump to give the final approval.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, after trade talks in Spain, said that a draft agreement has been reached between China and the US regarding the ownership of TikTok. US President Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping will hold discussions on Friday to finalize the deal. The meeting comes after the conclusion of the first phase of trade talks in Madrid between the world’s two largest economies.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “We will not talk about the commercial terms of the deal. That is between two private parties. But the commercial terms have been agreed upon.” To recall, Donald Trump had earlier, in a post on a social media site said that the meeting between US and Chinese officials went well and that a deal had been reached regarding a “special company” that many of the young people in the country very much wanted to save.
