      <title>Amazon bids to buy TikTok as deadline looms</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330409822/amazon-bids-to-buy-tiktok-as-deadline-looms</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amazon.com has put in a last-minute bid to buy TikTok, a US administration official said on Wednesday, just days ahead of an April 5 deadline for the short-form video app to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US President Donald Trump is expected to discuss TikTok’s fate at an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday and consider a final proposal related to the app, a White House official told Reuters on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amazon declined to comment, while TikTok and its parent company ByteDance did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. Shares of Amazon rose 1.3% in a volume spike after the report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The US tech and e-commerce giant is the latest name to pop up in a list of reported buyers. Trump said last month that his administration was in touch with four different groups about the sale of the platform, without identifying them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Private equity firm Blackstone is discussing joining ByteDance’s existing non-Chinese shareholders, led by Susquehanna International Group and General Atlantic, in contributing fresh capital to bid for TikTok’s US business, Reuters reported last week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is also in talks to add new outside investment that will buyout TikTok’s Chinese investors, as part of a bid led by Oracle and other American investors to carve it out of ByteDance, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White House-led talks entail plans to spin off a US entity for TikTok and dilute Chinese ownership in the new business to below a 20% threshold required by US law, Reuters reported last month.&lt;/p&gt;
