US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping has approved a deal allowing TikTok to continue its operations in the United States. The statement followed what Trump described as a “very productive” phone call with Xi, during which he said progress was made on several major issues, including trade, fentanyl trafficking, and efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “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.” He also revealed plans to travel to China in early 2026.

While Trump confirmed that an agreement on TikTok had been reached, he did not provide specific details about the deal. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance, has been under threat of a US ban unless its American operations are sold to a domestic buyer.
