The matter of taking over the Tiktok is coming back. China will get more time from Trump

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that once again he would suspend the enforcement of the Tiktok prohibition act to give the company and China an additional time for permission to take over the company by the American owner. He expressed the hope that Beijing would “bless” such a transaction.

“We will extend it. We will probably conclude a contract,” said Trump, when asked by journalists about the future of Tiktok. The president added that in order to lead to the takeover of the application by an American company, a “blessing” of China's authorities is needed, but he assessed that he would obtain such consent.

This will be the third decision to suspend the enforcement of the act prohibiting the functioning of Tiktok in the US under Chinese control, which formally entered into force the day before the inauguration of Donald Trump's presidency. The current exemption from the enforcement of law passes on Thursday. Trump is to sign a regulation in this case before, giving Tiktok and his Chinese owner Bytedance another 90 days.

The president earlier claimed that Already in March there was a ready plan to take over Tiktok by a group of American companiesand China was interested in an agreement on this matter, but the plan was in ruins after Trump imposed an additional purpose on China and other countries in April as part of the so -called Liberation Day.

In June during recent talks In London, both powers have established a trade agreement to implement a trade agreementwhich is to de -lean in the trade war between countries.

Adopted by Congress in April last year The act provided for a practical ban on the activity of the application on the American market, if it remained under the control of the Chinese owner. The reason was the concerns about China's acquisition of American users, espionage, or using the American public manipulation applications. Trump underestimated these fears, saying that he was sympathy for Tiktok because he helped him acquire the voices of young voters.
