President Donald Trump sets a deadline for September 15th for Tik Tok, popular Chinese-owned video app, to be sold to a US company or he will shut it down. This comes after Trump first threaten to shut down the app because of claims it is a source of national security and censorship concerns. Microsoft Corp. is in advanced talks to buy the Chinese app, owned by Bytedance Ltd. Microsoft said its CEO, Satya Nadella, has talked with Trump about it, and the tech giant expects the talks with TikTok to end no later than Sept. 15, either with a deal or not.
