Turin, 15 September. (LaPresse) – The United States and China have reached a "framework for an agreement on TikTok". This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the end of trade talks in Madrid. The US media reported it. Bessent offered few details about the deal. On the question of who would control TikTok's algorithm, which determines what users see on the app, the secretary said: "We won't talk about the commercial teams involved in the deal. It's between two private parties, but the commercial terms have been agreed upon." “We were very focused on TikTok and wanted to make sure that it was a fair deal for the Chinese and that it fully respected US national security concerns, and that's the deal we reached,” Bessent continued, adding that the US wanted to “ensure that the Chinese have a fair investment environment in the United States, but that US national security always comes first.”
