Trump, Xi approve TikTok deal; set to meet at APEC summit later this year
President Donald Trump appeared to suggest Friday that a deal to separate TikTok from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, had been approved by China’s top leader, Xi Jinping.
In a post on Truth Social after a call with Xi, Trump wrote, “The call was a very good one, we will be speaking again by phone, appreciate the TikTok approval.” But he also said, “We made progress on many very important issues” including the approval of the TikTok deal. He did not elaborate on what the approval entailed.
