The Big Story

US has 'framework' for TikTok deal

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that the U.S. has a “framework” for a TikTok deal, after President Trump hinted that his administration had reached an agreement to keep the app available in the U.S.

“We have a framework for a TikTok deal,” Bessent said at a press conference in Madrid. “The two leaders, President Trump and Party Chair Xi [Jinping], will speak on Friday to complete the deal. But we do have a framework for a deal with TikTok.”

Bessent, who was in Spain for trade talks with Chinese officials, declined to discuss the “commercial terms” of the agreement between “two private parties” but emphasized that they “have been agreed upon.”

“We had very good discussions,” he added. “We preferred to keep the discussions on TikTok. We will be holding trade negotiations in about a month again at a different location.”

The announcement comes as the administration’s latest TikTok extension is set to expire Wednesday.

Trump has repeatedly delayed enforcement of a law, passed last year, requiring TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest from the app or face a ban on U.S. networks and app stores.
