Today, is Trump seizing control of TikTok?
Donald Trump has signed a lot of executive orders in his time.
This one, last week, you might have heard about,
giving his approval to the sale of one of the world's most popular apps,
a $14 billion deal that could hand a huge chunk of TikTok's US arm from its Chinese owner to a group of American billionaires.
A very good talk with President Xi.
He gave us the go ahead.
You know, it's run by American investors.
The White House says this is a victory.
after long-running security fears about TikTok and Chinese influence in the US.
The thing that we wanted to accomplish is that we wanted to keep TikTok operating,
but we also wanted to make sure that we protected Americans' data privacy as required by law,
both because it's the right thing to do,
but also because it's a legal requirement of the law that was passed last year by Congress.
But there are troubling questions, how this deal was done, and who really wins out.
Is this a sweetheart deal that hands one of the biggest platforms in the world to Trump's political allies and cements his grip on the media landscape?
