Trump Plans Talks With China To ‘Keep Tiktok Alive’

President Donald Trump said he plans to negotiate TikTok’s future with China’s government. Speaking with reporters Wednesday (Feb. 20) on Air Force One, Trump was asked if there had been any developments on the future of the popular video-sharing platform, Reuters reported Wednesday. “No, there’s a lot of people interested in TikTok, and I think we have a chance of doing something good,” Trump said. “And we’ll be speaking to China about that also because they’re a party to it, obviously. But it would be great to keep TikTok alive, sell it to somebody that’s going to do a great job with it.”
