Trump says he will be willing to expand Tiktok sales deadline in exchange for trade concessions.
The President of the United States Donald Trump says he would be willing to reduce tariff rates at China to provide an agreement with Tiktok’s Chinese home companies bytottance for the sale of social media applications used by 170 million Americans.
“As for Tictok, and China will have to play a role in this, maybe in the form of approval, maybe, and I think they will do it. Maybe I’ll give them a little reduction in the tariff or something like that,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday.
Trump’s proposal followed because he announced a 25 -pointed tariff on imported cars and car parts – his last salvo in a growing trade war that threw out tensions with partners and allies.
Earlier this month, Trump has increased additional tariffs to all imports from China to 20 percent, compared to 10 percent published in February.
According to US law, Bytentcal was supposed to take away from Tictok until January 19 or risk a ban. However, Trump approved a 75 -day period, which should be expired on April 5.
Trump said he was ready to expand the deadline again unless an agreement on the social media application was reached.
Former President Joe Biden has signed the Law on Banking or selling into force last April. US legislators fear that the Chinese government could gain access to huge amounts of personal data through Ticta and use a platform to perform political influence.
TICTOK ACCLUDED FOR PUBLATION OF THE PRO-PALESTINE CONTENTS
Republican leaders requested a prohibition, tearing it with threat to national security, even before October 7, 2023, an attack on Israel, led by Hamas. Mike Gallagher, a former US Congressman and Current Executive Director Palanti, introduced the Ban Tiktok Bank’s Branch Procedure.
“So we had a two -sided consensus,” Gallagher said at a safety conference in Munich last month. “We had an executive government, but the account was still dead until October 7th. People started seeing a bunch of anti -Semitic content on the platform and our account had their feet again.”
In the echo of the devastating war of Israel against Gaza, who called the groups for the genocidal, Tictok was Accused of pushing the Pro-Palestinian propaganda. The application has also been charged with promoting anti-Israeli or anti-Semitic speech on its platform. Tictok denied the charges.
“Tictok is a tool that China uses to expand propaganda to Americans and is now used to reduce Hamas terrorism,” wrote Senator Marco Rubio on X, formerly known as Twitter, in November 2023.
Experts pointed out that Tiktok’s Pro-Palestinian slope seemed to reflect a variable public opinion on the conflict of Israel-Palestine in the US.
According to a survey of the 2022 survey, 61 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 said Palestinian people are watching either “very convenient” or “a little favorable”, compared to a national average of 52 percent.
Cinema competition to consent to control over Tiktoc, worth dozens of billions of dollars, has become the main point in the Economic Relations of the United States.
On January 20, his first day in power, he warned that China could impose tariffs if Beijing fails to approve the US contract with Tictok.

Vice -President JD Vance said he expects the general conditions of an agreement that resolves ownership of social media platform by April 5.
The future of the application that almost half of all Americans used in the air was made from the law last year, with irresistible double -sided support, she demanded that they be taken by Tiktoc by January 19.
The application briefly darkened in January after the Supreme Court in the United States supported the ban, but returned to life for days later after Trump took his duty.
Trump quickly issued an executive command to delay the law by April 5, and said last month that he could further extend the deadline to give himself a time to the shepherd.
