Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Saves TikTok While Protecting National Security

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Saves TikTok While Protecting National Security 📌 Core Outcome: President Trump signed an Executive Order approving a qualified divestiture of TikTok’s U.S. operations. This move prevents a ban, keeps TikTok available for 170M American users, and adds strong national security safeguards. 🛡️ National Security Framework: TikTok U.S. will operate as a new joint venture based in the U.S., majority-owned by American investors. ByteDance: allowed only <20% ownership, only 1 seat on 7-member board, excluded from security oversight. Oracle: appointed as TikTok’s U.S. security provider, managing data storage and conducting independent monitoring. U.S. data protection measures: Attorney General directed not to enforce restrictions for 120 days, giving time to finalize divestiture. 💡 Benefits for Americans: Content creators: continue livelihoods via TikTok’s reach. Businesses (small & large): continue using TikTok for marketing. Economic projection: plan will support $178B in U.S. economic activity over 4 years and sustain thousands of jobs. 🤝 Trump’s “Art of the Deal” Context: White House highlighted Trump’s record: Trump: “If we can save it, I think that would be a very good thing — economically good for America.” 👉 Bottom Line: The deal preserves TikTok in the U.S. while ending Chinese control, embedding U.S. security safeguards, protecting data sovereignty, and ensuring TikTok remains a driver of American jobs and economic growth.
