Tiktok no longer has that a few days to be bought before the ban. THE respite offered by Donald Trump was only short -lived and according to the New York TimesJeff Bezos' company is interested in acquiring the Chinese social network.

Amazon could afford Tiktok to prevent the ban

Several sources explain to the New York daily that Amazon sent an official letter to JD Vance and Howard Lutnick, respectively Vice-President of the United States and Secretary of Commerce. However, some of them express doubts about the seriousness of the offer.

Bytedance must absolutely sell Tiktok to non-Chinese investors before the maturity of April 5. Originally, the date was set for January 20 and then was postponed by Donald Trump as soon as he came to power.
