Amazon has bid to buy TikTok as deadline looms, New York Times reports

Amazon.com has put in a last-minute offer to buy short-form video app TikTok, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

U.S. President Donald Trump will consider on Wednesday a final proposal related to TikTok ahead of an April 5 deadline for the app to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the country, a White House official has told Reuters.

Amazon, ByteDance, and TikTok did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
