Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Strongly Hints at Microsoft Bid for TikTok
Caption: Trump Strongly Hints at Microsoft Bid for TikTok. US President Donald Trump has said that Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok, fueling speculation of a "bidding war" among tech giants. Both Trump and Former US President Joe Biden have pushed TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance to sell its US operations, citing national security concerns. Trump recently signed an executive order delaying a Biden-era ban that temporarily disrupted TikTok for its 170 million US users. Back in 2020, ByteDance approached Microsoft as a buyer, with the company’s CEO calling it “the strangest thing”. Although Oracle emerged as a potential partner, no deal was finalized. Trump remains in discussions with other parties and expects to decide TikTok’s future within 30 days. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
