What to know about a potential deal to keep TikTok running in US

Though he has no clear legal basis to do so, Trump has continued to extend the deadline for TikTok to avoid a ban in the US. This gives his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership. — AFP

Less than a month after extending a deadline to ban TikTok for the third time, US President Donald Trump told reporters late Friday night that, "We pretty much have a deal,” on TikTok – but he did not offer details.

The details and timing of a potential deal are not clear. TikTok did not immediately respond to messages for comment on Monday.
