Trump says he’s approved the ByteDance-Oracle deal — story to come soon.

“I have given the deal my blessing,” Trump said. He also claimed the deal will include a $5 billion fund for US education, and that TikTok would be “totally controlled” by Walmart and Oracle (which seems to conflict with what we all were reporting earlier this week).

-Trump blessed the TikTok deal
-The ban is delayed for a week
-Walmart & Oracle get a 20% stake
-$5B to an “education” fund, Trump said
-ByteDance still majority owner
