TikTok to become standalone US company to satisfy White House

Agreement put before US sees ByteDance retain majority shareholding, with Oracle holding minority stake

ByteDance will place TikTok’s global business in a new US-headquartered company with Oracle investing as a minority shareholder, said people briefed on a plan presented to US officials to avoid a ban of the popular video app by President Donald Trump.
