Trump Signs Executive Order Approving the TikTok US Joint Venture Deal

Executive Order 14352 declared a framework deal a qualified divestiture: TikTok's US app goes to a new US-majority joint venture, with Oracle as the security provider holding all US user data.

Executive Order 14352 determines that the divestiture in a Framework Agreement is a "qualified divestiture" under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act^[1]
TikTok's US app is to be run by a newly established US-based joint venture, majority owned and controlled by US persons, with ByteDance and its affiliates owning less than 20 percent^[1]
ByteDance chooses only one director of the seven-seat board and is excluded from the security committee^[3]
Oracle will act as TikTok's security provider: all US user data is to be stored in a secure US cloud run by Oracle, and recommendation models using US data retrained and monitored by trusted security partners^[3]
The Attorney General is directed not to enforce the Act for 120 days so the divestiture can be completed; the previous order (EO 14350, 16 September) had already pushed enforcement to 16 December 2025^[1][3]
The order cites about 170 million American users of the app^[1]
