President Donald Trump advanced plans for American investors to buy TikTok’s US operations from its Chinese owner ByteDance, with officials setting a potential value of $14 billion and outlining measures to ensure security of the new venture.
In an executive order signed Thursday at the White House, Trump declared that the deal complies with a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest control or face a prohibition in the US of the popular video-sharing platform. Trump also reiterated that he had won approval from his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, for the deal. In geopolitics, European diplomats warned the Kremlin this week that NATO is ready to respond to further violations of its airspace with full force, according to officials familiar with the exchange.
