Trump Delays TikTok Deal, Dangles It Over China Tariffs | “We’ll Wait Till..”— Trade War Chess Match [Video]

Trump Delays TikTok Deal, Dangles It Over China Tariffs | “We’ll Wait Till..”— Trade War Chess Match

U.S. President Donald Trump has thrown a wrench into the TikTok deal once again, signaling that the fate of the wildly popular app now depends on the outcome of ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations. While markets reel from tit-for-tat tariff hikes, Trump says he doesn’t want tariffs to “go higher” — but won’t back down unless China plays ball. With 145% tariffs already imposed on Chinese imports and Beijing refusing to play the "numbers game," is this the end of the trade war—or just the beginning of something bigger? And where does this leave TikTok’s 170 million American users? #Trump #ChinaTariffs #TikTokBan #TradeWar #ByteDance #USChina #TrumpTikTok #TikTokDeal #Geopolitics #TechNews #TrumpNews #GlobalEconomy #TariffBattle #TikTokUSA #WhiteHouse Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.194~GR.344~HT.410~
