The White House has announced a deal enabling a consortium of U.S. investors to take control of TikTok's American operations, ensuring majority American ownership and oversight of the app's algorithm. This agreement, reached between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, addresses national security concerns by transferring control from ByteDance while allowing the popular platform to continue operating in the U.S. Officials emphasized that the arrangement will safeguard user data and maintain connectivity with global users.
