Trump says US will start talks with China on TikTok deal this week
He said the United States 'pretty much' has a deal on the sale of the TikTok short-video app.
'I think we're gonna start Monday or Tuesday…talking to China, perhaps President Xi or one of his representatives, but we would we pretty much have a deal,' Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
Last month, Trump extended to September 17 a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of TikTok.
A deal had been in the works this spring to spin off TikTok's U.S. operations into a new U.S.-based firm, majority-owned and operated by U.S. investors, but it was put on hold after China indicated it would not approve it following Trump's announcements of steep tariffs on Chinese goods.
Trump said the United States will probably have to get a deal approved by China.
When asked how confident he was that China would agree to a deal, he said, 'I'm not confident, but I think so. President Xi and I have a great relationship, and I think it's good for them. I think the deal is good for China and it's good for us.'

Rahul accuses Modi govt of making rich richer, questions its silence on F&O manipulation
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday (July 7, 2025) accused the Modi Government of making the rich richer and pushing ordinary investors to the brink of ruin by being silent on 'manipulation' by big players in the F&O market. Mr. Gandhi, in a post on X, said that he had predicted the loopholes in the Futures and Options (F&O) markets. 'I clearly stated in 2024 — the F&O market has become a playground for 'big players,' and small investors' pockets are continuously being drained. 'Now SEBI itself is admitting that Jane Street manipulated thousands of crores. Why did SEBI remain silent for so long?' he asked in his post in Hindi. The Congress leader accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre of turning a blind eye to the revelation and wondered if there were more players rigging the market. 'At whose behest was the Modi Government sitting with its eyes shut? And how many more big sharks are still shorting retail investors?' he said. 'In every case, it is clear — the Modi Government is making the rich richer and pushing ordinary investors to the brink of ruin,' he alleged. Mr. Gandhi tagged his September 24, 2024 post in which he had stated, 'Uncontrolled F&O trading has grown 45x in 5 years. 90% of small investors have lost ₹1.8 lakh Crore in 3 years.' It went on: 'SEBI must reveal the names of the so called 'Big Players' making a killing at their expense.' SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Monday (July 7) said the capital markets regulator does not see 'many other risks' like the manipulations done by the hedge fund Jane Street. In an order released in the early hours of Friday (July 4), the market regulator found Jane Street, a New York-based hedge fund, guilty of manipulating the indices by taking bets in the cash, and, Futures and Options markets simultaneously for making handsome gains. It has suspended the hedge fund from accessing the market and impounded over ₹4,843 crore in gains. The probe has found that Jane Street made a profit of ₹36,671 crore on a net basis during the probe period from January 2023-May 2025.

Prominent businessman Sanjay Verma shot dead in Punjab's Abohar
1:32 China has responded to Donald Trump's threat of imposing an additional 10% tariff on countries with 'anti-American policies'. The Chinese minister stated that Brics is not targeting any country and promotes openness and inclusivity. Trump had accused the six Brics nations of attempting to downplay the dollar, labelling it as anti-America. China refuted this claim, emphasising that Brics is an important platform for cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries. The minister also reiterated China's position on US tariff hikes, stating that trade wars have no winners and protectionism is detrimental.
