US President Donald Trump says he may cut tariffs on China to help seal a deal for short video app TikTok to be sold by its owner ByteDance.

Trump also said he was willing to extend a 5 April deadline for a non-Chinese buyer of the platform to be found.

In January, he delayed the implementation of a law passed under the Biden administration to ban TikTok.

The legislation, which was signed into law in 2024, cited national security grounds for the sell or be banned order.
