US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would be willing to reduce the tariffs to agree with Tiktok’s Chinese parent who sold a short video application used by 170 million Americans.
Bytedtance deadline for April 5 Find a non-Kine customer for Tiktok or face an American ban on the basis of national security that was supposed to enter into force in January under the Law 2024.
Trump said he was willing to extend the deadline if the social media application had not been reached.
“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.
Tictok did not immediately comment.
To make the cinema agree to any job to give up controls over Tiktoc’s unit worth dozens of billions of dollars has always been the biggest point to complete any agreement. Trump has used tariffs in the past as a negotiating chip in Tictok negotiations.
The tariffs threatened earlier
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. Earlier this month, Trump has increased its additional tariffs to all imports from China to 20 percent more than 10 percent published in February.

The future of the application that almost half of all Americans used in the air is after a law was adopted last year with an overwhelming double -sided support that requires Bytenda to take away Tiktoc by January 19.
Application He darkened briefly In January after the United States Supreme Court supported the ban, but returned to life for days later after Trump assumed 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.
The White House is involved in an unprecedented level in carefully observed conversations on the agreement, effectively playing the role of an investment bank.
