They further said that Tik Toks parent company Bytedance has said that they would not sell Tik Tok US operation to Microsoft. 

This bid by the Chinese-owned app was done after a week before President Donald Trump has promised to ban Tik Tok in the US by the mid-September.

The administration stretched over client information being pipe to Chinese specialist Tik Tok denies it is a national security threat and is going to prevent the organization from the undermined ban.
