Trump Announces Potential TikTok Buyers in Fox News Interview

On June 29, 2025, President Donald Trump stated in a Fox News Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo interview that a “group of very wealthy people” is prepared to purchase TikTok’s US operations, addressing the app’s looming ban.

The YouTube clip, gaining traction online, quotes Trump saying the buyers’ identities will be disclosed in “about two weeks.” He suggested Chinese President Xi Jinping may approve the deal, critical for TikTok’s 170 million US users.

Speculation on X mentions investors like Larry Ellison and Kevin O’Leary, but no confirmation has surfaced.

This is Trump’s third extension of TikTok’s sale deadline, now set for September 17, 2025, under a 2024 law mandating ByteDance’s divestment over national security issues.

A prior deal collapsed in April due to US-China trade tensions.

The announcement drives searches for “Trump TikTok buyers,” “TikTok sale USA,” “wealthy TikTok investors,” “TikTok ban delay,” and “ByteDance divestment,” reflecting public interest in the app’s fate and the potential for a US ownership deal.
