Tech giant Microsoft is in discussions to buy TikTok, the popular social media app known for its short videos. This revelation came from U.S. President Donald Trump, who confirmed that the company is considering a bid.

Donald Trump is claiming that Microsoft might be buying TikTok, but is there any truth behind the claim, or did he just say that?

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok and that he would like to see a bidding war over the app.

Donald Trump seeks a "bidding war" for the app after years of pressure on ByteDance to sell its US operations over security concerns.

ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, is required to sell the app to a U.S.-based buyer or face a nationwide ban.

President Donald Trump said Monday evening that Microsoft is among the U.S. companies looking to take control of TikTok to help the popular app avert an effective ban that could kick-in in April.

President Trump said he “would say yes” to Microsoft buying TikTok but maintained that there are many interested parties that will be bidding to buy the app before a 75-day extension to decide its fate expires in April.

President Trump tells reporters on Air Force One that Microsoft is the latest contender in the race to buy TikTok's US operations.
