⁍ U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday there was no need to delay a decision on a proposed deal for popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.


⁍ ‘We’re going to take a look. They’re going to be showing me everything in a little while on TikTok,’ Trump told reporters before departing the White House.


– China’s state-owned Ctrip.com International has reached a tentative deal to buy US-based TikTok, the Wall Street Journal reports. TikTok is a popular Chinese social media app, and China’s state-owned CCTV has been trying to buy it for the past two years. The deal, which still needs the approval of the US Justice Department and the FTC, would give Ctrip a controlling stake in the company. President Trump told reporters Friday that he would be looking at the deal soon, Reuters reports. “They’re going to be showing me everything in a little while on TikTok,” he said.
