US President Donald Trump has said that he and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping approved a deal on the future of TikTok’s US operations during a phone call on Friday, although there was no confirmation from Beijing.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the call was "productive" and he "appreciated" Xi’s approval of the deal, which would reportedly see TikTok’s US business sold to a group of US investors.
China’s official state news agency Xinhua left the outcome of their discussion less clear, with Xi quoted as saying that Beijing "welcomes negotiations over TikTok".
TikTok, which is run by Chinese firm ByteDance, was previously told it had to sell its US operations or risk being shut down.
Trump, however, delayed implementing the ban four times since it was first announced in January, and earlier this week extended the deadline again to December.
