A major TikTok news in the USA is doing the rounds, and this comes as a respite for many TikTok lovers in the USA. As per credible reports, the US President Donald Trump is in talks with China to keep TikTok operational in the United States of America. This comes as a respite for many TikTok lovers across the USA because earlier this year, reports of a potential TikTok U.S ban in 2025 were doing the rounds across social media. Though TikTok has never been completely banned in the USA, there was a fear among users that it would be banned completely when Trump signed the executive orders to ban the app. However, the major takeaway from the TikTok U.S.-China agreement is that the app will now stay in the U.S.
This agreement took place exactly when there were growing reports of the app being completely banned in the United States of America. The app is used by more than 170 million in the USA, so understandably, the TikTok ban news in the USA took the nation by storm. A lot of TikTok negotiations have been taking place between the USA and China since the start of 2025; however, experts believe the latest US-China TikTok agreement has sealed the deal for the app in the United States of America. This move is also set to play a key role in furthering the global appeal of the app.
This agreement has added an entirely new dimension to the perspective of the app in the USA. It is because now one-fifth of the stock ownership of the app has to be transferred to the USA as per the new agreement. American company ByteDance is now set to retain 19-20% of TikTok’s stake in the USA; a deal which left the USA president might impressed and played a role in securing the future of the app in the USA. As per reports, this deal will be finalized within the next 30 to 45 days. Geopolitical experts are seeing this agreement as a breakthrough in the prolonged TikTok negotiations between these two countries. Only time will tell whether this deal will affect other aspects of economic relations between these two countries.
As per this TikTok US-China agreement, all the TikTok activities of US users will now be overseen by a US-dominated board. Even if China wants to make some changes in the app, those changes have to be first approved by the US-dominated board overseeing the app. As per reports, the board will be headed by a member designated by the US government. The US government was keen to ban TikTok in the US due to security concerns. However, these new arrangements have answered a large part of the previous security concerns of the app. And this is the reason why this agreement is being seen as a landmark case in TikTok Byte Dance negotiations.
TikTok’s US operations will now be completely managed by American Investors. As per reports, a consortium of investors will be formed to oversee the entire operations of TikTok in the US. This consortium will monitor all aspects of the app, right from any external changes being made by the USA to any internal compilation failure. However, like earlier times, the American user data would continue to be hosted in Oracle’s Cloud Services, reinforcing Oracle’s TikTok partnership in the USA. As a lot of discussions now surround the TikTok USA data privacy law, this news is set to delight the large TikTok user base in the United States of America. To a great extent, American Operational Control has now put an end to the complex TikTok Chinese Ownership Debate.
