Trump busca rescatar a TikTok en reunión clave el miércoles

Apr 2, 2025

El presidente Donald Trump encabezará el miércoles una reunión en la Casa Blanca en la que analizará diferentes ofertas para la venta de TikTok, en un intento por evitar que esa red social sea prohibida en Estados Unidos, según medios de EU. De acuerdo con las cadenas NBC y CBS News, que citan fuentes familiarizadas con las discusiones dentro de la administración, Trump hablará con sus asesores sobre ofertas presentadas por empresas estadounidenses a la compañía china ByteDance para comprar total o parcialmente TikTok. Este sábado 5 de abril vence el plazo para que ByteDance se desprenda de la plataforma. De no hacerlo, entrará en vigor una ley aprobada por el Congreso el año pasado que obligaría a la aplicación a cesar sus operaciones en EU, alegando preocupaciones de seguridad nacional por su vinculación con China. Entre los posibles inversores interesados figuran Blackstone y Oracle, así como otras firmas de capital privado, capital de riesgo e importantes actores del sector tecnológico, según CBS. A la reunión en el Despacho Oval asistirán altos cargos de la administración involucrados en las negociaciones, entre ellos el vicepresidente, JD Vance; el secretario de Comercio, Howard Lutnick; el asesor de Seguridad Nacional de la Casa Blanca, Mike Waltz; y la directora de Inteligencia Nacional, Tulsi Gabbard, según NBC y CBS. Este fin de semana, a bordo del avión presidencial Air Force One, Trump declaró a los periodistas que había “muchos compradores potenciales” para TikTok. “Hay mucho interés en TikTok. La decisión será mía”, afirmó entonces el presidente, que expresó su deseo de mantener “viva” la aplicación. El futuro de TikTok en Estados Unidos quedó en entredicho el año pasado, cuando el entonces presidente Joe Biden firmó una ley que obligaba a ByteDance a vender la aplicación a un comprador no chino o, de lo contrario, enfrentar su prohibición en el país. Ningún acuerdo llegó a concretarse y la plataforma dejó de estar operativa en EU durante algunas horas en enero. Sin embargo, el 20 de enero, en su primer día de regreso a la Casa Blanca, Trump firmó una orden ejecutiva que otorgaba a TikTok un plazo de 75 días, hasta el 5 de abril, para encontrar una solución que la desvincule al menos parcialmente de ByteDance.
