Murdochs likely to be involved in US TikTok deal, Trump says
President Trump mentioned that Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan are likely to be part of a group of investors aiming to purchase TikTok in the US, potentially including Larry Ellison and Michael Dell. The proposed deal to sell TikTok's American operations to US investors is progressing in response to concerns about data security due to the app's Chinese ownership. The involvement of influential figures like the Murdochs and Ellisons could significantly impact the future of one of America's popular social media platforms, TikTok.
