In a surprising announcement today, former U.S. President Donald Trump has outlined a bold strategy for TikTok’s future in the United States. During a press briefing, Trump emphasized his desire for a new owner to acquire the popular social media platform,
suggesting that half of the ownership should be transferred to the U.S. government as a condition for granting operational permits.
“This is a crucial step towards ensuring that American interests are safeguarded,” Trump stated, stressing the importance of national security in the age of digital media. The proposal has sparked immediate debate among lawmakers, tech industry leaders, and social media users alike. While some view it as a necessary move to protect user data, others argue it infringes on free market principles.
The plan could significantly alter the landscape of social media ownership and regulation, as TikTok continues to face scrutiny over its ties to China and concerns regarding user privacy. As the situation unfolds, experts are closely watching how this proposal will impact TikTok’s operations and its millions of users in the U.S.
