Congress passed legislation calling for a TikTok ban to go into effect in January, but President Donald Trump has repeatedly signed orders that have allowed TikTok to keep operating in the United States as his administration tries to reach agreement for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said tech giant Oracle would be responsible for the app鈥檚 data and security and that Americans will control six of the seven seats for a planned board. Oracle did not respond to a request for comment.

鈥淲e have great American patriots that are buying it 鈥� very, very substantial people, people that love our country,鈥� Trump told reporters on Saturday evening, the day after discussing the TikTok deal with China鈥檚 Xi Jinping in a lengthy phone call. 鈥淎nd they鈥檙e very smart technologically, and they will not let anything bad happen to TikTok.鈥�

Leavitt, in a Fox News 鈥淪aturday in America鈥� interview, said 鈥渢he algorithm will also be controlled by America as well,鈥� offering more detail about how the deal, at least in the eyes of the White House, is taking shape.

TikTok's algorithm fuels what users see on the app. American officials have warned the algorithm is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who can use it to shape content on the platform in a way that鈥檚 difficult to detect.

鈥淲e are 100% confident that a deal is done, now that deal just needs to be signed and the president鈥檚 team is working with their Chinese counterparts to do just that,鈥� Leavitt said.

Trump said after his call with Xi that American investors were lined up and that the Chinese leader has been 鈥渁 gentleman鈥� about the matter. The Republican president was vague on the crucial question of whether China would control the algorithm.

鈥淚t鈥檚 all being worked out,鈥� Trump said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e going to have very good control.鈥�

A statement from the Chinese government after that phone call did not clarify what Xi had agreed to regarding a by TikTok鈥檚 Chinese parent company to avoid .

Leavitt said Trump 鈥渞ecognized the need to protect Americans鈥� privacy and data while also keeping this app open,鈥� adding that 鈥淭ikTok is a vital part of our democratic process.鈥�

A recent found that about one-third of Americans said they supported a TikTok ban, down from 50% in March 2023. Roughly one-third said they would oppose a ban, and a similar percentage said they weren鈥檛 sure.

Among those who said they supported banning the social media platform, about 8 in 10 cited concerns over users鈥� data security being at risk as a major factor in their decision, according to the report.

Leavitt expressed confidence that the agreement would be finalized soon. "Now we just need this deal to be signed," she said. 鈥淎nd that will be happening, I anticipate, in the coming days.鈥�
