Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is willing to darken Tiktok, a “changed the tide” in the framework of his deal with China.
“President Trump has made it clear that he darkened Tiktok and that we had no intention of abandoning national security in favor of the deal,” Bescent told CNBC’s “Scoobox.”
ByteDance, the parent company of Tiktok, is still considering a September 17 deadline, which could sell the app’s US business or close it domestically.
The Trump administration has not yet officially extended the deadline, but US trade representative Jamieson Greer said Monday that it could take more time to finalize and sign the deal.
