President Donald Trump is set to evaluate a final proposal concerning TikTok at an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. The proposal comes as TikTok faces a looming deadline of April 5 to secure a buyer that is not based in China, or else the app will be banned in the United States. High-ranking officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, are expected to join the discussion.
Supplemental reports from various news outlets indicate that several U.S.-based investment groups and high-profile figures have been in talks to acquire TikTok and repackage its U.S. operations. While previous moves included a 75-day extension to finalize a deal for American ownership, the final proposal under review today signals the administration’s continued push to resolve national security concerns and maintain access to TikTok for its approximately 170 million American users.
