Donald Trump, during a rally in Washington, outlines his vision for TikTok’s future in the United States. He insists that the app, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, must have at least 50% U.S. ownership to operate legally within the country. Trump highlights the app’s worth and emphasizes that government approval determines its value.

“Without U.S. approval, TikTok is worth zero. With approval, it’s worth billions—possibly even a trillion dollars,” he says, proposing a t venture where the United States becomes a major stakeholder alongside private bidders.

TikTok s across the U.S. face a 12-hour service outage following the enforcement of a new law requiring ByteDance to divest its ownership or face a nationwide ban. The service resumes only after Trump reassures providers that they will not face penalties.

In a public statement, TikTok confirms the restoration of its services, saying:
“We appreciate the clarity provided, ensuring TikTok remains accessible to over 170 million Americans and s millions of small businesses.”

Trump plans to sign an executive order that extends the compliance deadline for the new regulations. The extension aims to secure a deal addressing national security concerns while keeping TikTok operational for its massive U.S. base.

The debate centers on concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of information. TikTok, which s more than 7 million small businesses in the U.S., continues to navigate the delicate balance between meeting regulatory demands and maintaining its presence in the market.

This development highlights a broader challenge as governments address the growing influence of foreign tech companies on national security. For TikTok, the road ahead involves navigating U.S. demands for transparency while maintaining its global operations. The outcome could set a precedent for other tech platforms operating in sensitive geopolitical environments.

It isn't worth zero but it will be worth almost 80% less. If that wasn't the case, the Tiktok ceo would not be so desperate.

The dumbest businessman cannot be that foolish. Trade his algorithm for a single country. TikTok would do well without the US.

Taken it out completely will only make RedNote more popular which is a more Chinese app

The West are so scared of competition . They detest it.

Once they see competition, they start framing it up. From Huawei to BYD, and now TikTok

What a life!
