(VOVWORLD) - US President Donald Trump said Saturday he has approved a deal in principle in which Oracle and Walmart will partner with the viral video-sharing app TikTok in the US, allowing the popular app to avoid a shutdown.
Walmart's contribution to the deal was described as a "commercial partnership" with TikTok, who said it will bring 25,000 additional jobs across the US.
The security will be 100%, Mr. Trump said, adding that it's a great deal for America.
Oracle, Walmart, and TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance confirmed the information.
