| Trump threatened to close Tik Tok unless the American company bought it |
U.S. President Donald Trump said that if the Chinese parent company (ByteDance) did not sell the Tik Tok app, the app would be closed in the United States on September 15, saving a large amount of it to the Treasury. It is intended to block the app on weekends.
Earlier reports stated that Microsoft held negotiations for 45 days to purchase the application, which was confirmed by the American company via blog.
Microsoft said in the mail: After the dialogue between the company's CEO, Satya Nadala (Satya Nadala) and President Trump, Microsoft is ready to continue discussions to investigate the purchase of Tic-Tac in the United States.
Trump brought the news and explained in detail how he believed Microsoft or another large American company should acquire Tik Tok.
Trump said that you should buy the entire (ByteDance) app, not just the activities of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as buying 30% of the app is complicated. .
The president also insisted that every deal must pass a large portion of the price to the US Treasury. Although he did not explain what this meant, he compared the relationship between the United States government and the company and the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.
Trump said: Unless Microsoft or another company can purchase it and can't make a transaction, TikTok will end on September 15. Until the Treasury receives a lot of money.
Microsoft's letter on Tik Tok purchase also states that the United States (including the US Treasury) will receive customized economic benefits.
The Trump administration banned Tik Tok from speaking a few weeks ago, citing a mixture of potential national security threats and an attempt to punish China for dealing with the corona virus.
Last week, the US government reached an agreement on the bankruptcy and liquidation of Tik Tok (ByteDance), and the US government's Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS) can apply.
ByteDance can punish people who don't sell Tik Tok, but Trump's ban on Trump has a broader meaning.
In practical terms, the US government has no precedent to prevent Americans from accessing applications, especially because the app has not been charged with violating the law directly related to the ban.
