President Trump wants TikTok to be sold by April 5. The app faced a ban in the US, but Trump delayed it. Many want to buy TikTok, including tech companies and celebrities.
Will TikTok be banned again?
If TikTok isn’t sold by April 5, it may face another ban. However, there might be ways to keep it available without punishment. Google and Apple are hosting TikTok again.
Possible TikTok buyers
ByteDance said TikTok isn’t for sale, but Trump mentioned potential buyers. He suggested a 50-50 partnership between the US and ByteDance. Companies like Microsoft are also interested.
