As the April 5 deadline that President Donald Trump set for TikTok to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the United States nears — the president said he has a team “essentially taking bids” for ownership of the app.
“There’s tremendous interest in TikTok. The decision is going to be my decision. As you know, through Congress, they’ve given me the power to make the decision,” Trump told reporters Sunday evening.

“We have a great team of people taking, essentially taking bids. We have a lot of people that want to buy TikTok. We’re dealing with China also on it, because they may have something to do with it, and we’ll see how that goes,” he added.
This comes after Trump pushed back the initial January deadline for TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the app.
