Donaldson is one of the many kidnappers who expressed their interest in buying Tiktok, the famous social media platform that has become the subject of fast -moving political drama in the United States.
Last year, then President Joe Biden signed a law that gave the Chinese -based mother company in China until January 19 to sell the platform or face a ban in the United States.

President Donald Trump has offered the possibility of a joint venture.
“I would have a 50 % royal position,” he said on Sunday. “By doing this, we save Tiktok, keep it in safe hands and allow him to do so [stay up]”
Trump has since signed an executive order allowing the application to stay at work for another 75 days.

Ultimately, President Trump is likely to have a major role in choosing an American buyer for Tiktok.
“It will be a possible winner that is likely to be a political sympathy for President Donald Trump,” said Professor Anoubam Chander of the George Town Law College.
Professor Chunder said that the joint ownership model between 50-50 does not correspond to the requirements of the law, which may lead Trump to pressure Congress in the law review.
Currently, the future of the platform is still in a state of forgetfulness.
Professor Chunder said that the Biden administration had committed an “unfamiliar mistake” by allowing the law to give the president significant control over those who own Tiktok.
“It was a terrible idea to put the future of a huge information platform in this political vein,” said Professor Chunder.
