The company issued a statement – “ByteDance let us know today they would not be selling TikTok’s U.S. operations to Microsoft,”

Earlier last week, Microsoft was confident that ‘ByteDance’ would agree their proposal – which is considered good for TikTok users while protecting national security interests. But, The Chinese firm has picked up ‘Oracle’ as its technology partner in the United States. There is no official comment from TikTok and Oracle.

After President Trump has repeatedly said that an US company should come forward to buy the operations of TikTok, leading tech giants including Microsoft, Walmart and Oracle have initiated talks with ByteDance.
