In an interview aired on Sunday, President Trump mentioned that media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan, are possibly among a group of potential buyers interested in acquiring TikTok.

During his appearance on Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing,” Trump informed Peter Doocy that the Murdochs, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies, are part of the group interested in keeping the app operational in the United States.

“You know, they’re very well-known people. And Larry Ellison is one of them. He’s involved. He’s a great guy. Michael Dell is involved,” Trump said.

“I hate to tell you this, but a man named Lachlan is involved,” Trump said, referring to Lachlan Murdoch, whose family owns Fox News.

“And Rupert is probably gonna be in the group. I think they’re going to be in the group,” Trump stated. “Couple of others. Really great people, very prominent people. And they’re also American patriots. You know, they love this country. So I think they’re going to do a really good job.”

After a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, Trump announced that both parties endorsed a deal to allow TikTok to continue functioning in the U.S., following months of uncertainty concerning the app’s future due to a 2024 law.

Nonetheless, the Trump administration has provided limited details about the agreement. Meanwhile, the Chinese government seemed less definitive about the talks’ status on Friday, indicating that the president had agreed to support endeavors towards a “proper deal on TikTok.”

A broad bipartisan majority approved a 2024 measure requiring ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company, to disengage from the app or face restrictions on U.S. networks and app stores. Trump has endorsed numerous extensions to keep TikTok accessible to American users despite the absence of divestment.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday on Fox News that the deal, which still needs to be signed, means the app will be “majority-owned by Americans in the United States.” The app’s algorithm “will also be controlled by America as well,” Leavitt said.
