Trump, Xi Hold Pivotal Call To Finalize TikTok Deal: Report

 According to a report by CNBC, a White House official said the call began at 8:00 a.m. ET. 

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly stated on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s willingness to let TikTok shut down in the United States pushed China to make a deal with his administration.In an interview with CNBC, Bessent stated that the Trump administration prioritized national security over allowing the ByteDance-owned social media platform to operate in the U.S., and that this decision was what “turned the tide” in the TikTok deal&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-hints-at-tik-tok-deal-after-us-china-trade-talks-in-europe/chwwaeBRdUX">framework</a> with China.“President Trump made it clear that he would have been willing to let TikTok go dark, that we were not going to give up national security in favor of the deal,” Bessent said.The deadline for TikTok-parent ByteDance to divest the social media app’s U.S. operations is set for Wednesday, September 17. If the U.S. and China do not reach a deal, TikTok faces a shutdown in the United States. Bessent added that while ByteDance and the investors in TikTok’s U.S. operations had reached an in-principle agreement about the commercial terms in March or April, President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs led to China putting the deal on hold.“We were able to reach a series of agreements, mostly for things we will not be doing in the future that have no effect on our national security,” Bessent said in the interview.Ahead of the deadline,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/meta-snap-alphabet-stocks-on-traders-radar-as-us-and-china-discuss-tik-tok-s-us-future-at-madrid-summit/chww3MvRdxv">reports</a> suggest that Oracle Corp.

Bessent Says Trump’s Willingness To Shut Down TikTok In US Pushed China To Make A Deal: Report

In an interview with CNBC, Bessent stated that the Trump administration prioritized national security over allowing the ByteDance-owned social media platform to operate in the U.S.

President Donald Trump on Monday said that the trade meeting in Europe between the U.S. and China went “very well” and hinted that a potential deal may be in the works for TikTok.“A deal was also reached on a ‘certain’ company that young people in our country very much want to save,” he said in a cryptic&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115208260926006345">post</a> on TruthSocial. “I will be speaking to President Xi On Friday. The relationship remains a very strong one.”The comment comes after high-stakes trade negotiations in Madrid on Sunday, where U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/business/us-china-trade-tiktok-negotiations.html">reportedly</a> met with China on multiple issues, including the urgent deadline for <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYTEDANCE">ByteDance</a>, TikTok’s parent company, to divest its U.S. operations by September 17 or face a ban.

Trump Hints At TikTok Deal After US-China Trade Talks In Europe

The president said a deal on a “certain” company young people want to save has been reached, ahead of a Friday call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

China is continuing to bring to market new artificial intelligence (AI) models at a breakneck pace, challenging the dominance of Western AI companies like OpenAI and Google.On Thursday, TikTok owner ByteDance and DeepSeek announced new AI models. ByteDance released three variants of its Seed-OSS-36B open-source AI model, which is known for its long-context window processing and various developer-friendly features.Chinese AI firms are closing the gap with their U.S. rivals by leaning on an open-source strategy. Most Chinese AI models are open source, enabling developers to use, modify, and distribute the code. The approach is aimed at driving broader adoption across the ecosystem.Citing recent benchmark tests,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYTEDANCE">ByteDance</a> said the new model either matched or surpassed the capabilities of similar-sized models from Alibaba, Google, and OpenAI, as well as the firm's own Seed 1.6 model. ByteDance forayed into AI models with its Doubao LLM in May last year.DeepSeek, which rose to prominence earlier this year with AI models developed at a fraction of the cost compared to Western models, upgraded its flagship V3 model on Thursday.The version offers faster processing and includes a feature that optimizes V3 for Chinese-made chips. The modification is particularly crucial as China pushed for local development of advanced chips, including those suited for AI workloads.The developments come amid rapid growth in the Chinese AI industry, led by tech heavyweights&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BABA">Alibaba</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BIDU">Baidu</a>, which have released several iterations of their Qwen and Ernie AI, respectively.Chinese tech stocks have rallied this year on the back of AI advances, though gains have been tempered by U.S. tariff announcements and a recent surge in investment in the China's food delivery space.Still, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a>, which tracks Chinese stocks listed in the U.S., and the tech-focused&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KWEB">KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB)</a>, have risen about 28% year-to-date.In recent news, Nvidia has&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-on-track-to-extend-drop-on-h20-china-ai-chip-order-halt/chsmnkSRdiv">reportedly told its suppliers</a> to halt orders for its H20 chips, designed for the Chinese market in compliance with U.S. export controls.That compares to the 8.3% gain in the benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX) index.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

China Rapid With AI Rollouts As ByteDance, DeepSeek Unveil New Models: Should US Stalwarts Fear?

TikTok owner ByteDance and DeepSeek on Thursday announced upgraded AI models.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is likely to extend the deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of short video app TikTok, but will need the green light from China to make it happen.“Probably yeah,” he told reporters on Air Force One when asked about extending the deadline, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-says-he-will-probably-extend-tiktok-deadline-again-2025-06-17/">cited</a> by Reuters. “Probably have to get China’s approval but I think we’ll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it.”This would mark the third time that Trump has put off enforcing a federal law requiring TikTok’s sale or ban, which was supposed to take effect the day before his January inauguration.Trump originally supported banning TikTok or forcing its sale due to national security concerns about the influence and data privacy risks associated with the Chinese government.However, during the 2024 election, he reversed his stance, stating that TikTok has “a little warm spot in my heart.”The President announced an initial 75-day delay of the ban upon taking office. A second extension pushed the deadline to Jun 19. Now, another delay may be in the works.&nbsp;TikTok’s parent company,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYTEDANCE">ByteDance</a>, has been ordered to either sell the social media app’s U.S. operations to a non-Chinese buyer or face a nationwide ban.&nbsp;Despite the legal uncertainty, TikTok continues to operate in the U.S., even&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/meta-tik-tok-unveil-more-powerful-tools-to-generate-video-ads-through-ai/chlYATrRRTN">launching</a> new AI-powered features for advertisers.&nbsp;If no sale is reached and the deadline is not extended, TikTok could be forced offline in the U.S., affecting 170 million users.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/amd-stock-hits-6-month-high-after-analysts-boost-price-targets-post-ai-event/chlnUEQRRRD">AMD Stock Hits 6-Month High After Analysts Boost Price Targets Post AI Event</a>
