The deals would end years of efforts by Washington to force ByteDance to sell its US operations.
The deal is a major step toward resolving years of uncertainty about the app's future in the United States, dating back to when then-President Donald Trump unsuccessfully tried to ban the app.
TikTok has signed a deal to form a new U.S. joint venture controlled by mostly American investors.
TikTok CEO Shou Chew told employees of the app that its owner, China’s ByteDance, has signed binding agreements to create a joint venture for the app in the United States, as agreed to in a deal with the Trump administration. NBC News' Brian Cheung has more on the latest announcement.
The deal closes a long-running drama in which U.S. authorities have sought to compel ByteDance to divest.
