TikTok bosses are cooking up a brand new app just for Americans. The company plans to kill off their current United States platform during March 2026. They want to replace it before selling to some mystery billionaires who are lining up to make offers.
Trump spilled the beans about these super rich buyers during his Fox News chat. He promised to name names within the next couple weeks but warned that China needs to approve any deal first. The former president thinks President Xi Jinping will probably give his blessing to the sale.
TikTok executives rushed out a statement praising Trump for having their backs. The app serves more than 170 million American users and helps 7.5 million businesses reach customers. Company leaders expressed gratitude for the political protection they received from the White House.
Congress forced this mess last year when lawmakers demanded TikTok find new owners or face a complete ban. The Supreme Court backed up those tough rules about national security risks. Trump stepped in with a temporary delay right after taking office again.
The social media giant is scrambling to launch their American version before September 5th. Trump gave them until September 17th before his protection runs out completely. TikTok and parent company ByteDance keep swearing they never shared user information with Chinese officials despite ongoing government concerns about data privacy.
