President Donald Trump said he has American buyers ready for TikTok and could extend ByteDance’s divestment deadline, emphasizing he has no privacy or security concerns.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that American buyers are lined up to acquire TikTok, and he may consider extending the deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the app’s U.S. operations.

He also stated he does not have any privacy or national security concerns regarding the deal.
