New York: US President Donald Trump has sought to use the TikTok deal with Oracle and Walmart to create a USD 5 billion fund to teach the youth the country's 'real history'.
TikTok, owned by Chinese parent company ByteDance, has received tentative approval from the Trump administration for a proposed deal meant to assuage security concerns the White House had raised and avoided a ban in the country where it has over 100 million monthly active users.
The President first talked about the education fund from the deal on Saturday as he left the White House for an election rally in North Carolina, the USA Today reported on Sunday.
During a campaign speech in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump said that he requested 'USD 5 billion into a fund for education, so we can educate people the real history of our country. The real history, not the fake history'.
