TikTok Deal Finalised: Trump’s Win or Strategic Compromise? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

TikTok will remain in the U.S., following a deal brokered by President Trump. A new entity, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, will manage operations, with 50% ownership split between ByteDance and its original investors. The rest is held by a U.S.-backed consortium including Oracle and MGX. Oracle, a Trump ally, is named the "trusted tech partner." But key questions remain: ByteDance retains the global product and the algorithm—TikTok’s core engine. Beijing’s export laws further complicate control over tech. While Trump calls it a win, critics say the deal raises more questions than answers. Who really controls TikTok now?
