TikTok to Be Saved in the US as Trump Confirms a Deal with China Ahead of Upcoming Ban

The agreement aims to resolve national security concerns by transferring TikTok's US operations to American control before a September 17 ban deadline, affecting 170 million users.

  • U.S. and Chinese officials reached a preliminary framework deal to transfer TikTok’s U.S. ownership by September 17, 2025, avoiding a ban.
  • The deal follows months of national security concerns over ByteDance’s Chinese ownership and data access risks, and a recent trade meeting in Madrid.
  • The agreement includes potential licensing of TikTok’s algorithm and commercial terms, though details remain undisclosed amid Chinese insistence on protecting company interests.
  • U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described it as a breakthrough, with President Trump confirming the talks went "very well" on Truth Social.
  • The deal could end the U.S. TikTok ban saga while raising questions about data security, with President Trump and Xi Jinping expected to discuss final steps on September 19.
