President Donald Trump said Sunday that he had a buyer for the U.S. branch of TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned video app that faces a ban over national security concerns.
In an interview on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo,” Trump said, “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way.”
He added that he would need China’s approval, but “I think President Xi will probably do it,” in reference to China’s leader, Xi Jinping.
Trump did not disclose who the potential buyers were, saying only that it was “a group of very wealthy people.”
He added, “I’ll tell you in about two weeks.”
