Trump TikTok: President says he has a buyer for popular app
President Donald Trump has said he has a buyer for TikTok, the video-sharing app that was banned in the US amid claims it posed a national security a Fox News interview, Trump said he had a group of "very wealthy people" willing to acquire the platform. "I'll tell you in about two weeks," he teased.A sale would need approval from the Chinese government, but Trump told Fox he thought President Xi Jinping "will probably do it".This month Trump delayed for a third time the enforcement of a law mandating TikTok's sale. The latest extension requires parent company ByteDance to reach a deal to sell the platform by 17 BBC has contacted TikTok for comment. A previous deal to sell TikTok to an American buyer fell apart in April, when the White House clashed with China over Trump's tariffs. It is not clear if the current buyer Trump has lined up is the same as the one who was waiting in the wings three months US Congress passed a law forcing TikTok's sale in April last year, with lawmakers citing fears that the app or its parent company could hand over US user data to the Chinese government, which TikTok had criticised the app during his first term, but came to see it as a factor in his 2024 election win and now supports its continued use in the US. The law was supposed to take effect on 19 January, but Trump has repeatedly delayed its enforcement through executive actions, moves that have drawn criticism for overruling congressional lawmakers. TikTok challenged the constitutionality of the law, but lost its appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Trump accuses Fed chairman of keeping interest rates ‘artificially high'
It comes amid mounting speculation that Mr Trump is plotting to undermine Mr Powell by naming his successor early. Mr Powell's term as Fed chairman is scheduled to end in 11 months, and a successor is usually announced three to four months in advance to allow for a smooth transition. However, it is thought that by naming a successor earlier, Mr Trump's choice could influence the market by unveiling plans for more aggressive rate cuts. When asked about who the next Fed chairman will be, Mr Trump pledged to appoint ' anybody but Powell '. 'He's a bad person,' he added. Mr Powell was appointed to the senior job at the Fed by Mr Trump during his first term in office. Joe Biden gave him a second term, which will expire in May 2026. The Fed sets monetary policy 'to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates' – typically regarded as keeping inflation at around 2pc while seeking to keep the economy growing and the jobs market strong. In the pandemic, the Fed cut interest rates to 0.25pc, only raising them in 2022 as the cost of living crisis took hold. Rates reached a peak of 5.5pc in 2023. Mr Powell indicated to Congress last week that interest rates would be likely to remain on hold at the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting in July as policymakers try to unpick the impact of Mr Trump's trade war. Mr Trump also said in his interview with Fox that he had ' found a buyer for TikTok ', referring to the US operations of the Chinese social media app.

Trump claims to have mystery buyers for TikTok
President Trump claims a 'group of wealthy people' are ready to buy TikTok, ensuring the popular video-sharing app avoids a looming, thrice-delayed U.S. ban. But he won't say who wants to take ownership just yet. 'I'm extending that, but no big deal. We have a buyer for TikTok by the way,' Trump said during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures that aired on Sunday. 'I think I'll probably need China's approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.' When asked for the identity of the buyers group, the president demurred, saying, 'I'll tell you in about two weeks.' The Independent has contacted TikTok parent company ByteDance for comment. The teaser comes after the Trump administration on June 19 delayed for the third time implementing a 2024 law that would ban the app unless it can find a new owner for its U.S. operations. 'As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement earlier this month. 'This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure,' she added. The president has said in the past that buyers were ready to take over TikTok, only for a deal to fail to materialize. Critics argue that Trump lacks the legal authority to keep stalling on the TikTok ban, which Congress passed under President Joe Biden and allows for a single 90-day extension if a buyer is close to a deal for the app. Ambivalence has long shaded Trump's relationship towards TikTok, which he unsuccessfully tried to ban by executive order in his first term, then embraced as a campaign tool to reach some of the app's more than 100 million U.S. users. The president frequently claims major developments on issues like the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the U.S. role in the Israel-Iran conflict are 'two weeks' away — enough that a reporter recently pressed Leavitt over the apparent rhetorical strategy. 'President Trump has said previously, in regard to Russia, he's used the phrase 'about two weeks' several times, in terms of, like, 'We expect a two week deadline,' and then he'll give another two week deadline,' the reporter said. 'How can we be sure he's going to stick to this one on making a decision on Iran?'
