Microsoft in talks to buy TikTok, Trump says
US President Donald Trump has said Microsoft is in discussions to acquire TikTok and that he would like to see a "bidding war" over the sale of the social media app.
When asked by reporters whether the US tech giant was preparing a bid, Trump replied: "I would say yes" - before adding that there was "great interest in TikTok" from several companies.
A spokesperson for Microsoft said the company had "nothing to share at this time". The BBC has also reached out to TikTok for comment.
