""China will work with the U.S. to properly resolve issues related to TikTok," China's Commerce Ministry said after the meeting. It gave no details on any progress toward ending uncertainty about the fate of the popular video-sharing platform in the U.S. The Trump administration had been signaling that it may have finally reached a deal with Beijing to keep TikTok running in the U.S."
"Wide bipartisan majorities in Congress passed - and President Joe Biden signed - a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. if it did not find a new owner to replace China's ByteDance. The platform went dark briefly on a January deadline but on his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order to keep it running while his administration tries to reach an agreement for the sale of the company."
President Donald Trump met with Xi Jinping and the meeting produced measures to reduce trade tensions but left TikTok ownership unresolved. China's Commerce Ministry said "China will work with the U.S. to properly resolve issues related to TikTok" and provided no details on progress. U.S. officials signaled a potential deal to keep TikTok operating, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying leaders would "consummate that transaction on Thursday in Korea." Congress passed a law that could ban TikTok unless it finds a new owner. Trump issued multiple executive orders extending sale deadlines; a proposed sale would also require Chinese approval.
