Trump and Xi announce pause on rare earth controls, leave TikTok’s fate unclear

President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday ended with several trade-related announcements but without clarity on TikTok’s ownership.

“China will work with the US to properly resolve issues related to TikTok,” China’s commerce ministry said after the meeting. The statement did not elaborate on any progress made toward resolving the app’s uncertain future in the United States.
