US President Donald Trump said he could extend the deadline for the sale of Tic Talk, which was imposed on the byte dance since June 19. This might be the third measure to suspend using Tic Talk.
Trump said in an interview with NBC at his home on Thursday (local time), “For those who don’t agree with Tic Talk, we’ll extend the deadline. I hope it would be.”
He mentioned that Tic Talk contributed to the young voters’ targeting young voters within the 2024 presidential election, saying, “Tic Talk is a really interesting platform and will likely be protected.” He also said in Tic Talk, “There’s a suet spot.”
Tick Talk was originally scheduled to be suspended if the US sale was not made until January 20, but this was delayed until April 5.
As well as, negotiations have been suspended because the Chinese government refuses to approve after the tariff announcement. In consequence, the deadline was delayed on June 19, but it surely is predicted that negotiations might be difficult as a consequence of trade friction between the White House and Beijing.
Trump argued that China is under economic pressure as a consequence of 145 percent of the US tariffs, saying that “China wants an agreement.”
The tariffs is not going to be lowered first for negotiations, but it surely has left room for adjusting the tax rate for greater agreements. “In the long run, now we have to lower it. Otherwise, we will not do business with them. They’re very desirous to do business.”
A source related to the negotiations also said, “Negotiations are still in progress on June 19,” he said, but emphasized that the US -China tariff problem ought to be preempted to enhance the actual negotiations.
