Trump claims to have mystery buyers for TikTok
Trump says ‘we have a buyer for TikTok’
- President Trump claims a “group of wealthy people” is prepared to purchase TikTok, potentially averting a U.S. ban.
- Trump stated he would disclose the identity of these buyers in about two weeks during a recent interview.
- This announcement follows the administration's third delay in implementing a law that would ban TikTok unless it secures a new U.S. owner.
- The president has previously indicated that buyers were ready for TikTok, but those deals did not eventuate.
- Critics question Trump's legal authority to repeatedly postpone the ban, noting that the congressional law allows for only one 90-day extension.
