Trump restates demand for cut from TikTok sale as September 15 deadline looms

San Francisco: President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his demand for a piece of the action from any sale of TikTok’s US operations for forcing such a deal.

TikTok has been at the centre of a diplomatic storm between Washington and Beijing, and Trump gave Americans a deadline to stop doing business with TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance—effectively compelling a sale of the app to a US company.
