The lawsuit will start as early as next Monday, local time in the United States. On August 14, trump issued an administrative order again, requiring that byte skipping must divest tiktok’s U.S. business within 90 days. Byte jump has been negotiating with potential buyers such as Microsoft and Oracle, and some U.S. investors with byte jump may also join the final deal and occupy some shares.
