Donald Trump signed an executive order that establishes the framework for the sale of Tiktok operations in the United States to a consortium of local and international investors. The measure seeks to comply with the National Security Law of 2024 and avoid the prohibition of application in the country. Vice President JD Vance explained that the value of the agreement will be around the USD $ 14,000 million, significantly lower than the estimates of some analysts.

The decision represents an important turn in Washington’s technological policy towards Chinese platforms. Tiktok, owned by the company Bytedance, has been under pressure from the US government due to privacy and data security concerns. With this order, Trump postpone until January 20 the application of the law that prohibits the app if its sale to non -Chinese actors is not specified.

The political and technological context

The Executive Order responds to a long negotiation process initiated in 2024 to extract American Tiktok assets from its global platform. In the center of the dispute is the application algorithm, considered its most valuable resource. According to the order, this algorithm will be reached and operated under the control of the new US entity, with the supervision of security partners.

Tiktok pressure has intensified in a scenario in which Washington seeks to strengthen its technological independence. The platform has approximately 170 million users in the US and Trump has publicly recognized its influence on its re -election campaign. In fact, the president has 15 million followers in his personal account and the White House opened his official profile on Tiktok last month.

The actors behind the agreement

Among investors are Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and Rupert Murdoch, Emeritus President of Fox Corp and News Corp. According to Trump, they will also add “four or five world -class investors.” Oracle and Silver Lake would be among companies that have about 50% of Tiktok EE. UU., According to sources cited by Reuters.

Vice President JD Vance explained that the priority of the agreement is to protect the data of US users and keep the platform operational. “We wanted to ensure the privacy of Americans as required by law,” Vance told reporters in the Oval office. Although Trump said he received signs of approval from Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Chinese ambassador to Washington did not immediately respond to comment requests.

Next steps and challenges

Trump’s executive order is a significant step, but several critical details remain to be resolved. Among them, how the operation of the recommendation algorithm and what additional conditions could impose both the Chinese and the American government to approve the transaction will be managed in the long term.

Trump insisted that the new company “will be completely operated by Americans” and stressed that this measure will protect the strategic interests of the country. However, Tiktok has not issued official comments on the order and some analysts provide a complex process before the sale is fully completed.
