Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism TikTok will meet an early April deadline requiring it to find a U.S. buyer or face a ban in the country. 

TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a China-based company, giving rise to concerns that Beijing could use the popular app to steal millions of Americans’ data and pose a national security threat to the United States. If the social media platform is not sold to an American buyer by April 5, TikTok will face a full ban in the U.S. due to legislation passed by Congress.
