President Donald Trump confirmed that Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations from China's ByteDance Ltd., saying he would like to see a bidding war over the app to get the best deal. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump stated he does not want China involved with TikTok, which faces a potential ban in the United States on national security grounds. Reports also indicate that Oracle, along with a group of U.S. investors, is in negotiations to take over TikTok's global operations, with ByteDance potentially retaining a minority stake.
