US President Donald Trump hinted on September 15 that a deal has been reached to resolve issues over TikTok’s ownership. He said he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 19 regarding the matter.

"A deal was also reached on a 'certain' company that young people in our country very much wanted to save," Trump wrote in a social media post.

The US and China reached a framework deal on short-video app TikTok as part of broader talks on tariffs and economic policy that concluded in Madrid on September 15, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
