Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he would not like to block TikTok, and expressed confidence that a deal on the sale of the platform would be concluded.

After his inauguration on January 20, Trump signed an executive order that aims to delay the blocking of this platform in the U.S. for at least 75 days (until April 5). He also told journalists that the States should be entitled to half of TikTok, but did not explain exactly what that meant.
