The American tech giant has been in discussions with ByteDance,

the Chinese owner of the popular video sharing platform,

for the last few weeks over a potential acquisition.

Those talks began after Donald Trump threatened to ban TikTok

altogether, warning that the data of American TikTok users

might not be safe in the hands of a Chinese-owned company.

to some sort of agreement by mid-September,

a deadline made even more urgent by Mr Trump's latest threat

to cut TikTok off from any US transactions in 45 days time

will be Donald Trump's repeated insistence

that the Treasury should get some kind of payment

for helping engineer the sale in the first place.

Lawyers and policymakers that I talked to in Washington

to demand a one-off payment from a private company,

but that usually happens when the private company is asking

For example, if there is a bailout, there is often a fee

One lawyer I spoke to said this doesn't so much

are committed to providing economic benefit to the US

is some kind of promise over future tax payments.
