Walmart joins Microsoft for TikTok’s US operations



KATHMANDU: The US retail giant Walmart has said it will team up with Microsoft to make a bid for the US operations of TikTok, BBC reported.

Walmart said a deal with the Chinese video-sharing app would help it expand its operations.

TikTok has been given 90 days to sell its US arm to an American firm or face a ban in the country. Donald Trump has alleged it shares its user data with Beijing – claims it denies.

Earlier on Thursday the firm’s boss resigned ahead of the impending ban.
