The Trump administration is racing against the clock to secure a deal that would keep TikTok operational in the United States ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

The White House really wants to get a deal to sell Chinese short-video app TikTok to a US company and remove all possibilities of the Mainland using it as a way to spy on Americans. Except, apparently, one Big Tech firm that Team Trump isn’t so keen on: Online retail giant Amazon, On The Money has learned

President Donald Trump is expected to decide the fate of Chinese video-sharing app TikTok’s operations in the U.S. during a White House meeting

Trump gave China’s ByteDance until Saturday to sell or divest its U.S. TikTok business. A source confirmed to NBC News that the e-commerce giant had made a last-minute pitch.

A deadline looms for the administration to broker a deal that would allow the video app to operate in the U.S.

President Donald Trump will meet with Vice President JD Vance and other advisers Wednesday to discuss an offer for TikTok as a deadline nears to keep the social media app running in the U.S, two people familiar with the plans tell NBC News.

The White House has examined a menu of options to avert a TikTok ban deadline set for Saturday. One proposal — letting TikTok’s Chinese owner lease the algorithm to a TikTok spinoff in the U.S. — would probably face resistance from China hawks in Trump’s party.

The White House has said it will use real eggs in its annual Easter Egg Roll, despite historically high prices and a shortage that the industry is blaming on the latest outbreak of the avian flu.

They are expected to convene on Wednesday to discuss a potential sale of the app, which faces a Saturday deadline to change its ownership structure.
