Trump claims to have found a buyer for TikTok, but won't say who yet: 'I'll tell you in about two weeks'

The TikTok app with Donald Trump ranting behind it.

We've been waiting with baited breath for a while now to find out about the future of TikTok in the United States. After condemning the Chinese owners of the app, TikTok was given the mandate to sell up in the US or miss out on the country as an audience. Since this announcement, Trump has had to delay the deadline for TikTok's sale multiple times, but the president has recently said we should find out who the new buyer is in the next two weeks.

Reuters shares a snippet of a video taken during Trump's recent interview on the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo". "We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way," Trump says in the video, adding "I think I'll need probably China's approval. I think President Xi will probably do it."
