“My administration has worked hard on a Tiktok rescue deal, and we have made tremendous progress,” he published. “The deal requires more work to ensure the signature of all necessary approvals, which is why I am an executive to keep Tiktok wake up for an additional 75 days. We look forward to working with Tiktok and China to close the deal.”
