Trump says US will start talks with China on TikTok deal this week

On July 4, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced that talks with China about a possible TikTok deal would start on July 7 or 8.
The talks follow a US law requiring Beijing-based ByteDance to divest TikTok's US assets due to national security concerns and an extended deadline until September 17.
Trump said on Air Force One that the US pretty much has a deal on TikTok's sale, possibly involving President Xi or his representatives, but he is not fully confident China will approve it.
He indicated that discussions with China would begin on Monday or Tuesday and suggested that an agreement was nearly finalized, though he expressed some uncertainty about the outcome.
These negotiations could shape TikTok's future in the US and reflect ongoing US-China relations, with Trump emphasizing a positive personal relationship with President Xi.
