The future of the social media app TikTok will be in the hands of Americans, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Six Americans will sit on the company’s seven-seat board, Leavitt said Saturday during an interview on Fox News, according to NBC.
“This deal does put America first,” Leavitt said.

“And let me just be very clear. This deal means that TikTok will be majority-owned by Americans in the United States. There will be seven seats on the board that controls the app in the United States, and six of those seats will be Americans,” she explained.
Oracle, a software giant, would handle data and protect privacy for the American version of TikTok, she said, according to The New York Times.
