Trump Says TikTok Must Be Sold By Next Month, Treasury Department Should Get A Cut From It

President Donald Trump acknowledged having a conversation with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella over the weekend. During a meeting at the White House, Trump told reporters that any company seeking to acquire the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok would need to address U.S. cyber-security concerns and that a deal would have to be reached by next month. 

“I set a date of around September 15th, at which point it’s going to be out of business in the United States,” Trump said of a TikTok merger with Microsoft, reports Axios. The president added: “But if somebody else buys it, that will be interesting.”
