Amazon reportedly made a last-minute game to buy a lot of tap, the wildly popular video app that is confronted with an American ban.
Tiktok, which is confronted with a deadline of April to break the ties with its Chinese parent company or to be banned in the US, receives several offers for sale according to the New York Times.
But do not expect that this will still shake the deal preparation: administration officials are reportedly not seriously taking the offer of Amazon.
Tiktok is nowadays one of the most powerful media sources in America.
The company, which organizes around 170 million American users, has grown into one of the largest online retail markets with millions of dollars in daily sales.
Amazon sent a letter to Vice-President JD Vance and commercial secretary Howard Lutnick to express their last-minute interest.
The Movement of Amazon underlines the last-minute chaos in Washington around the future of the powerful brand.
Several billion dollar companies are in the mix to redecorate the video app: Oracle, Walmart and Microsoft are all reportedly interested in the app.
Even popular YouTuber Mr. Beast would be the promotion.
The bids started to roll in after President Donald Trump defended judicial orders and ignored a law that was adopted with two -part support.
Trump, who puch to ban the app in his first term, has changed his attitude and has fought to keep the social media site operational in the US.
In April 2024, the congress and the Senate sent a bill to the then President Joe Biden who had to get the app from app stores.
Tiktok became a few hours of dark on January 19, the day before President Trump's inauguration.
But Tiktok gave the heat to the legislators and early app users to call their representative in the office and to spend millions on lobby efforts.
And President Trump responded to the plea of the company.
He delayed the enforcement of the law until this Saturday, even after the Supreme Court unanimously maintained it.
The legislators of both parties have long discussed the national security problems about the Chinese ownership of the app, which last year adopted a law that was forced a sale that was in force in January to enter into force.
