Trump earlier approved a TikTok takeover attempt involving Oracle and Walmart in 2020 but it failed.

According to a source familiar with the talks,  Walmart is not participating after objecting to the viral video app’s estimated price.  Oracle is interested in a TikTok stake “in the tens of billions,” but the rest of the deal is up for grabs. Oracle and White House officials met on Friday to discuss a possible deal; another meeting has been set for next week.

Although the specifics are still being worked out, it would mean that American investors would own most of the social media app.

An individual directly involved in the discussions, who was not permitted to publicly, stated, “The objective is for Oracle to effectively monitor and provide oversight with what is happening with TikTok.”. “ByteDance would reduce Chinese ownership, but it wouldn’t entirely disappear. ”
