Microsoft quickly emerged as a potential buyer of TikTok’s US operations, as first reported by Fox Business’ Charles Gasparino. According to a 1988 law, Trump has the authority to block business deals of “persons engaged in interstate commerce in the United States” if he deems it a national security threat.
