President Donald Trump said on Sept. 16 that the United States has a buyer for TikTok and that a deal will preserve tens of billions of dollars in value for both China and the United States.

“We have a deal on TikTok. … We have a group of very big companies that want to buy it,” Trump said at a press conference, without providing further details.
