The Trump team wants Tiktok deal to be made – but not with Bezo’s Amazon

The White House really wants to get a deal to sell the short Chinese Tiktok video app to an American company and remove all the continent’s possibilities using it as a way to spy on Americans.

With the exception

I know what you have said, does not have the founder of Donald and Amazon Jeff Bezos (the boy he called to call “Jeff Bozo” because he owns Trump Hattington Post) united things? Bezos was in the inauguration with Glamorus Fiance, Lauren Sanchez and making a $ 1 million gift. WAPO is turning more trumpeted after Bezo’s management changes.

The best loops, right?

Maybe not. While the Trump team was coming to the final touches both in its tariff plan and in its plan to save Tiktok from a law that prohibits it from SH.BA unless a local buyer appears before Saturday’s death, Amazon tried to make them a solid. She offered to pay what she needs to buy not only US application operations (this is what all this has to do with everyone), but the whole business from the Chinese, a deal that some say can cost the online seller for up to $ 200 billion.

Amazon has money, be careful. Since the end of the year, it has decreased to $ 100 billion plus in cash and can easily fund the rest. But at least for now, it has no support from Trumpers, which will have to receive the US regulatory approval.

“Half mature” is how someone inside the agreement machinery described Amazon’s offer. â € œWhy did they wait until the last minute? â €

The way the deal described the situation for money, getting a US part sale was not easy. The White House has spent months trying to start the needle. The main part is that you have to respect a US law that prohibits the app here if the Chinese do not give up control.

The Chinese government is calling the shooting, as it happens when you have a treatment with China Inc. You must persuade the apparatus there to give up control-not non-ownership rights for a group of US investors owned by the majority. President Xi & Co., have refused to sell the main ingredient of Tiktok, his algorithm that keeps people climbing into the app by supplying an endless flow of videos based on user preferences.

Algo will be rented by the new company by the Chinese under the White House plan. And even with all these bells and whistles, it is not yet a certain Chinese will play the ball.

Yes, all very complicated, and a structure that will not be easy to unveil from Amazon by throwing money in Chinese to buy all its global operations that Tiktok’s parent has said in the past that he does not want to sell. In fact, under the White House deal, Bytedance will hold a minority of shares in Tiktok US as an improvement in rage.

In the meantime, you can wonder why we are here in the first place as Trump wanted to stop the app just a few years back? For all the concerns about Tiktok by being a secret Chinese spying operation and two -party support to stop its app without a sale for a local company, Trump thinks Tiktok’s user base helped him win the election, so now he wants to save it.
