Trump says 'very wealthy' group found to buy TikTok
President Donald Trump said Sunday a group of buyers had been found for TikTok, which faces a looming ban in the United States due to its China ties, adding he could name the purchasers in two weeks. "We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way," Trump said in an interview on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. "Very wealthy people. It's a group of wealthy people," the president said, without revealing more except to say he would make their identities known "in about two weeks." The president also said he would likely need "China approval" for the sale, "and I think President Xi (Jinping) will probably do it." TikTok is owned by China-based internet company ByteDance. A federal law requiring TikTok's sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before Trump's inauguration on January 20. But the Republican, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media and who has said he is fond of TikTok, put the ban on pause. In mid-June Trump extended a deadline for the popular video-sharing app by another 90 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or be banned in the United States. Tech experts quickly described the TikTok kerfuffle as a symbol of the heated US-China tech rivalry. While Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, he reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform -- which boasts almost two billion global users -- after coming to believe it helped him win young voters' support in the November election. "I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok," Trump told NBC News in early May. "If it needs an extension, I would be willing to give it an extension." Now after two extensions pushed the deadline to June 19, Trump has extended it for a third time. He said in May that a group of purchasers was ready to pay ByteDance "a lot of money" for TikTok's US operations. The previous month he said China would have agreed to a deal on the sale of TikTok if it were not for a dispute over Trump's tariffs on Beijing. ByteDance has confirmed talks with the US government, saying key matters needed to be resolved and that any deal would be "subject to approval under Chinese law."

'We have a buyer': TikTok will be purchased by 'very wealthy people', says Trump
US President Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he had found a buyer for TikTok, a group of "very wealthy people" whom he will reveal in about two weeks. Trump made the remarks in an interview on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo". Earlier this month, Trump extended to September 17 a deadline for the China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok despite a law that mandated a sale or shutdown without significant progress. The Republican president had earlier twice granted a reprieve from federal enforcement of a law that mandated the sale or shutdown of TikTok which was supposed to take effect in January, absent significant progress toward a sale. Trump has said he wants to keep the app, which helped him woo young voters in the 2024 presidential election, active in the US.

China rolls over $3.4 billion of commercial loans to Pakistan, says source
China has rolled over $3.4 billion in loans to Islamabad, which together with other recent commercial and multilateral lending will boost Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves to $14 billion, a finance ministry source said on Sunday. Beijing rolled over $2.1 billion, which has been in Pakistan's central bank's reserves for the last three years, and refinanced another $1.3 billion commercial loan, which Islamabad had paid back two months ago, the source said. Another $1 billion from Middle Eastern commercial banks and $500 million from multilateral financing have also been received, he said. "This brings our reserves in line with the IMF target," he said. The loans, especially the Chinese ones, are critical to shoring up Pakistan's low foreign reserves, which the IMF required to be over $14 billion at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30. Pakistani authorities say that the country's economy has stabilised through ongoing reforms under a $7 billion IMF bailout.
