Trump Says “Very Wealthy People” Are Ready to Buy TikTok

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-09 08:33:39

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. The legislation stems from bipartisan concern in Washington that the Chinese government could access the data of American users or use the app

Trump says he’s found a buyer for TikTok

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-09-09 08:53:48

In Brief A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time).

G7 agrees to exempt U.S. multinationals from global minimum tax

The Group of Seven nations said on Saturday (June 28, 2025) they have agreed to exempt U.S. multinational companies from a global minimum tax imposed by other countries — a win for President Donald Trump's government, which pushed hard for the compromise. The deal will see U.S. companies benefit from a "side-by-side" solution under which they will only be taxed at home, on both domestic and foreign profits, the G7 said in a statement released by Canada, which holds the group's rotating presiden

US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders

news.ycombinator.com Joseph Gedeon 2025-09-09 16:38:08

The US supreme court has supported Donald Trump’s attempt to limit lower-court orders that have so far blocked his administration’s ban on birthright citizenship, in a ruling that could strips federal judges of a power they’ve used to obstruct many of Trump’s orders nationwide. The decision represents a fundamental shift in how US federal courts can constrain presidential power. Previously, any of the country’s more than 1,000 judges in its 94 district courts – the lowest level of federal court

The Trump Phone Is Already a Lot Different From Last Week

Apparently, things change quickly in the world of the Trump phone. It’s been 10 days since the Trump Organization announced it would be launching the $499 T1 smartphone, and in that time there have already been a confusing series of changes to a product that was initially supposed to be arriving as soon as August. Now, you can only expect it “later this year,” according to the most recent update of the Trump Mobile website, with all mention of it “coming soon” gone. That is not the only change.

President Donald Trump said the US is ending trade talks with Canada, effective immediately, over a tax on digital services that will impact American tech companies. He also pledged to announce further tariffs on Canada within the next week, adding in a Truth Social post that "they will be paying to do business with the United States of America."

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is terminating all trade talks with Canada after the country decided to move forward with a digital services tax on U.S. tech companies like Meta. The president, who also mentioned high dairy tariffs, called Canada “a very difficult Country to TRADE with,” in a Truth Social post. Trump characterized the digital services tax as a “direct and blatant attack on our Country.” The new Canadian measure imposes a 3% tax on digital services revenue mad

Trump’s ‘Obliterated’ Claim on Iran Just Became His Latest Meme Disaster

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-10 11:29:15

In his June 21 televised address from the White House, President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program following airstrikes on three of its nuclear sites. The word was meant to project power, certainty, and victory. Instead, it has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Within days, “obliterated” morphed into an online punchline, mocked by critics and meme-makers across social media platforms. It has become the latest in a long line of Trumpian catchphrases

Earlier this month, the Trump Organization revealed its latest profit-making scheme: the T1, a golden iPhone knockoff that has aptly been dubbed the “Trump phone.” Alongside the new device, the Trumps launched a wireless mobile network called T1 Mobile, which purports to offer unlimited talk, text, and data. Given that Trump is the “America First” president, it was very on-brand for the company to promise that the devices would be manufactured domestically. Given that manufacturing a functioning
