Former U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed Vice President JD Vance and national security adviser Michael Waltz to lead discussions on a potential sale of TikTok, according to a report by Punchbowl News.
The move comes amid ongoing national security concerns over TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Lawmakers have repeatedly raised fears that the app could pose a risk by allowing data access to the Chinese government. Calls to ban or force a sale of TikTok have intensified, with bipartisan efforts pushing for stricter regulations.
Trump’s decision to involve Vance and Waltz signals the administration’s focus on addressing security threats tied to foreign-owned social media platforms. While details about potential buyers remain unclear, the push for TikTok’s sale aligns with past efforts to sever its ties to China.
TikTok, which has over 150 million U.S. users, has consistently denied allegations of data misuse. The company argues it operates independently and does not share user data with Beijing. However, critics remain skeptical, leading to legal battles and heightened scrutiny.
The U.S. government previously attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok under Trump’s administration in 2020, with companies like Microsoft and Oracle vying for control. The effort stalled due to legal challenges and shifting political priorities. Now, with Trump’s renewed focus, the debate over TikTok’s future is back in the spotlight.
As pressure mounts, TikTok faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Whether a forced sale happens or new regulatory measures emerge, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape and the global tech industry.
