“There will almost certainly be a high-level agreement that I think satisfies our national security concerns, allows there to be a distinct American TikTok enterprise,” Vance, who is helping run negotiations for the forced sale, told NBC News in an interview Friday. “Whether it's through an extension, or whether it's through actually just getting the deal in place satisfies the national security concerns, I think we're going to be in a place where we can say TikTok is operational, and it’s also operational in a way that's protective of Americans’ data privacy and America’s national security,” he added.
