The US-China TikTok deal – level 1
22-09-2025 07:00
The US and China make a deal. The deal says that TikTok can stay in the US.
Scott Bessent, a government man, talks about it. President Trump writes online that young people are happy. Trump stops a law three times. The law says that ByteDance, the company of TikTok, must sell part of the app. Politicians in the US worry that China can see American data and change TikTok. TikTok is very big in the US. It has more than 170 million users. The delay of the ban ends on September 17. The deal will solve many things. Trump will also talk with the leader of China soon.
Difficult words: law (a government rule which people must follow), data (information, often numbers or facts), delay (when something happens later than planned).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
