TikTok Deal under New Threat as Trump Insists on Total US Control
He had threatened to ban the app on security grounds unless a sale was agreed with a US company by the middle of September.
The two main US investors, Oracle and Walmart, have said they will be taking a combined 20% stake in TikTok Global.
But Mr Trump, naming the two companies, said: "They are going to have total control of it.
"They are going to own the controlling interest.
"And then I guess they are going public and they are buying out the rest of it, they are buying out a lot.
"If we find that they don't have total control, then we are not going to approve the deal."
