Vice President Vance Expects High-Level TikTok Deal Ahead of April 5 Deadline

U.S. Vice President JD Vance reaffirmed on March 14, 2025, his expectation that a 'high level' TikTok deal would be concluded by the April 5 deadline. The effort aims to address national security concerns while establishing a distinct American TikTok enterprise, as part of President Trump’s directive to transfer the app’s U.S. operations to majority American ownership.

Additional reports from early April indicate that progress on the deal remained strong. For example, Reuters noted on April 3 that negotiations were in a good place, even as complications such as Chinese resistance and tariff-related pressures added uncertainty to finalizing the arrangement.
