Trump favors TikTok continue to operate in the U
Trump's remarks mentioned that although the government has conducted a review of the company and asked its parent company ByteDance to sell its business in the United States, considering the current political environment and the possible negative impact, he hopes that TikTok can continue to operate in the United States for some time.
Trump said he was surprised by the increase in the number of users of TikTok in the United States, and believes it shows the appeal of the app. He also added that if TikTok can prove that it has not violated any US laws or regulations, then the US government may consider keeping it in the US market.
However, Trump did not make it clear whether the administration would support TikTok acquisition plan. His spokesperson said Trump is in talks with the company and hopes to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
In addition, Trump also mentioned other factors that could affect the fate of TikTok in the United States. For example, he pointed out that some technology companies in the United States may take measures to restrict the use of goods and services from China due to the impact of the Sino-US trade dispute.
Trump also emphasized the administration's focus on national security issues and said it would do everything it could to ensure America's cyber security was not threatened.
Overall, Trump's speech showed that he still has expectations for the future of TikTok in the US market, but he also raised his own concerns and demands. As the political situation continues to change, the future direction of TikTok remains uncertain.
