Trump to start TikTok sale talks with China, he says, with deal ‘pretty much' reached
Donald Trump has said he will start talking to China on Monday or Tuesday about a possible TikTok deal. The United States president said the US 'pretty much' had 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 on Friday. Trump also said he might visit Xi Jinping in China or the Chinese leader may visit the US. The two leaders last month invited each other to visit their respective countries. Trump last month also extended a deadline to 17 September for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok, a social media app with 170 million users in the US. A deal had been in the works this spring to spin off TikTok's US operations into a new US-based firm, majority-owned and operated by US 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 on Friday the US would probably have to get a deal approved by China. Asked how confident he was that Beijing 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.' Trump's June extension was his third executive order to delay the ban or sale of TikTok and gave ByteDance another 90 days to find a buyer or be banned in the US. Trump's first executive order giving TikTok a reprieve came on his first day in office – just three days after the supreme court ruled to uphold the ban. Trump issued the second executive order in April. The deadline for the sale or ban was then set for 19 June. Now, TikTok has until September. In a statement issued the same day, TikTok thanked Trump and JD Vance. 'We are grateful for President Trump's leadership', the statement said, and TikTok would 'continue to work with Vice President Vance's Office' to come to an agreement. Democratic senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, accused Trump of sidestepping the law with an executive order. With reporting by Dara Kerr

Further despair as Wales feel the heat in Japan
Summer tour second Test: Japan v WalesVenue: Noevir (Misaki Park) Stadium, Kobe Date: Saturday, 12 July Kick-off: 06:50 BSTCoverage: Watch live on S4C and BBC iPlayer; listen live on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru & BBC Sounds; text commentary and highlights on BBC Sport website and app. Wales revealed their devastation at wilting in the Kitakyushu heat to lose 24-19 to Japan and suffer a record 18th successive Test tries from Ben Thomas and Tom Rogers, as well as a penalty try, gave Wales a 19-7 half-time lead and hopes of a first victory since beating Georgia at the 2023 World Cup in October Japan dominated the second half as Wales suffered in the extreme heat and from Takuro Matsunaga, Ichigo Nakakusu and Halatoa Vailea, plus nine points from the boot of Seungsin Lee, piled on more misery for captain Dewi Lake was close to tears after the final whistle with Wales' 21-month wait for an international victory continuing."I don't want to speak for everyone but we are gutted," said Lake."It's very tough to take because we have worked hard. "We take nothing away from Japan for the way they played and coming out on top, but we had moments to win that game and put it to bed." Wales interim head coach Matt Sherratt says the whole squad had been affected."You could see the feelings not just from the squad but the whole staff as well," said Sherratt."They are a very passionate group. We had a lead going into half-time so to lose the game at the end is very disappointing." Wales slump to new low The defeat means Wales have again slumped to a new all-time low as they are still searching for a first Test win in 21 months. Wales have slipped two places to a lowest place ever of 14th in the world rankings, now below Japan and says Wales can not feel sorry for themselves with the second Test in Kobe next Saturday."Already we have got to quickly use the hurt to fuel us for next week," said Sherratt."The great thing about this tour is we get the chance to put it right."Japan head coach Eddie Jones warned Wales they will face an improved side next weekend."We're really happy with the win," said Jones."We will enjoy it and get ready to go again in Kobe, where we'll need to play much better than today."Sherratt confirmed Wales lock Ben Carter will miss that game after he took a heavy hit to the side of the head after just 34 slumped to the ground after attempting to make a tackle and there was a lengthy stoppage before the second row was taken away on a Dragons captain was up and about in the changing room afterwards but will not be available next weekend. Wales not blaming the conditions The oppressive conditions - with the temperature above 30 degrees Celsius as well as high humidity - meant a three-minute water break in each half and an extended interval of 20 minutes were faded badly in the second half as Japan scored 19 unanswered points but Sherratt refused to blame the heat and humidity for the tourists' demise."I would be making excuses if I said that [conditions played a part]," said Sherratt."If you look at the game, we took pretty much every chance we got bar one in their 22."Every ball that hit the floor bounced for us and we were on the right side of the penalty count."In the second half there were some big moments. We had a lineout around 45 minutes to take the game to three scores and it was a tough call by the referee to penalise us."We have a young group, we have not had a win for a while and those little scars can start to run deep."In the second half every bounce went for them, we had some key lineout positions we did not make the most of and the penalty decisions went away from us."Maybe the conditions added to that also but my instinct is not so much."Lake says Wales will look at themselves first."Conditions are going to play a factor but we're not blaming that," said Lake. "We weren't clinical enough in the 22 and we didn't come away with points."Jones was proved right when he said before the match the team that coped with conditions would win the game, but the Australian also praised his opposition."For Wales to come from the northern hemisphere into those conditions is difficult," said Jones. "Like every Wales team, they were always tough to beat. They're a proud rugby nation and produce tough, good players." Second success for Jones and Japan Jones, who masterminded a second success against Wales for Japan following the win in 2013, praised his side's resilience after a slow start."For a young team's perspective, that's a very good win," said Jones"In the first-half, we were getting beaten in territory and possession. "We had a lot of nerves and frequently gave the ball back early in the phase count. "As a result, we were being beaten fair and square. But I sensed at half-time the players knew what to do."Jones praised the leadership of his captain Michael Leitch."With Mike's leadership in the second half, I thought they played a good 40 minutes of rugby and were really tough," said Jones."At times, we were able to break the Wales defence and our set-piece was absolutely outstanding. "I can't remember the last time I saw a front-row play 80 minutes in a Test match, especially in difficult conditions."
