The U.S. computer company Microsoft is negotiating with ByteDance to buy the TikTok activities in the U.S. and other countries.
U.S. President Donald Trump Friday signed a decree obliging China's ByteDance company to sell the TikTok application's activities in the U.S. within 90 days.
For months, Trump has accused the video-sharing social network of diverting data from U.S. users to the Chinese government without evidence.
"ByteDance stores information to harm U.S. national security," Trump explained in the presidential decree.
The Trump's order specifies that whoever purchases TikTok's activities in the country must have U.S. citizenship, and demonstrate their willingness and ability to comply with this decree.
