The White House described this Saturday the keys to the agreement so that control of the TikTok social network in its territory passes to the United States, in the hands of the United States, in an expected agreement with China.

White House with Karoline Leavitt said that the deal could be signed "in the coming days", although Beijing has not yet made comments.

The United States has sought to seize the video-sharing app's operations from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, on national security grounds.

TikTok had previously been told it must sell its US operations or risk being shut down.

However, US President Donald Trump has delayed the implementation of the ban four times since his initial announcement in January, and earlier this week extended the deadline again to December.

Leavitt said US companies will control TikTok's algorithm and that US citizens will hold six of the seven board seats for the app's US operations.

She said the app's US data and privacy management will be handled by tech giant Oracle, owned by Larry Ellison, one of the world's richest people and a Trump ally.

“Data and privacy management will be handled by one of the companies "The largest US tech companies, Oracle, and the algorithm will also be US-controlled," he told Fox News.

"So all those details are agreed upon. Now we just need this deal to be signed," he said.

Ellison's son, David Ellison, recently acquired media company Paramount, which owns CBS News, making the Ellisons one of the country's most powerful media families.

Trump said Friday that he and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, approved a deal on the future of TikTok's US operations during a phone call, although there was no confirmation from Beijing.

Trump wrote on the social media site Truth Social that the call was “productive” and that he “appreciated” Xi's approval of the deal,which would involve the sale of TikTok's US operations to a group of American investors.

China's state-run news agency on Thursday, Trump sidestepped a reporter's question about whether a US buyer would need to develop a new algorithm or could continue using the current one.

While Trump initially called for a ban on TikTok during his first term, he later reversed himself.

He also tapped the popular platform to increase its support among young Americans during his successful 2024 presidential campaign.

In January, the US Supreme Court upheld a law passed in early 2024 that banned the app unless ByteDance divested its US operations.

The app briefly disappeared at the time, but the ban was delayed shortly afterwards.

The US Department of Justice has previously expressed concerns about TikTok's access to US user data, which posed a national security threat of "immense depth and scale".
