Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok, US President Donald Trump said, adding that he would like to see a bidding war over the app. The reported talks mark the second time that Microsoft has been in the frame to acquire TikTok.
During his first term, Trump ordered TikTok to separate its US version from ByteDance citing national security concerns. Microsoft emerged as a top bidder in 2020, but the talks soon collapsed, and Trump’s divestment push ended a few months later when he left office.
