Donald Trump named Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell as likely participants in a deal to retain TikTok's U.S. operations amid ongoing negotiations with China.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump said a TikTok deal involving Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch, Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell is progressing in the U.S.

- The new ownership group includes American investors like Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake, with six of seven TikTok board seats held by Americans.
- Trump said, "They're very well-known people," and called them "American patriots" who love the country and will do a "really good job."
- This arrangement implies U.S. control over TikTok’s data and algorithm, aiming to satisfy national security concerns while keeping the app operational in America.
