A deal to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese company and save the popular video-sharing platform from a ban in the United States is still very much “on the table,” President Donald Trump has said.

“Obviously, I would say right now China is not exactly thrilled about signing it,” Trump said on April 9 in the Oval Office, when asked about the status of the TikTok deal amid the latest escalation in the U.S.–China trade war.
