WASHINGTON —

President Donald Trump said at the conclusion of a call with China’s leader Xi Jinping Friday morning that they had made progress to finalize a deal that would sell most of TikTok’s U.S. assets to American investors. The deal would conclude a yearslong effort that began during Trump’s first term and became a key factor in broader negotiations between the United States and China in recent months.

“We made progress on many very important issues including Trade, Fentanyl, the need to bring the War between Russia and Ukraine to an end, and the approval of the TikTok Deal,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “The call was a very good one, we will be speaking again by phone, appreciate the TikTok approval, and both look forward to meeting at APEC!”
