Donald Trump downplays China TikTok risks; claims app will be bought

US President Donald Trump has suggested that “people want to buy TikTok” and that it’s “going to stay around.”


He made the comments during his first one-on-one TV interview since he re-took the White House earlier this week. 


Unless TikTok's Chinese owner Bytedance sells the app to a buyer from America or one of its allies in the next 10 weeks, it'll become unavailable in the United States following a bill passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court, which cites concerns over data and spying.
