US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wasn't ready to approve the Oracle-TikTok deal, which would allow the Chinese video app to continue operating in the United States, news agency AFP has reported. Trump has said that it has to be a 100% takeover by the US tech giant of the ByteDance platform, insisting he needs to see the deal before approving it. The US President is also opposed to an arrangement reported by media in which ByteDance would keep a majority stake in the company and Oracle a minority stake.

US tech giant Microsoft on Sunday said that its offer to buy TikTok in the US has been rejected by the Chinese company. "ByteDance let us know they would not be selling TikTok's US operations to Microsoft," the US tech giant said in a statement. ByteDance is TikTok's parent company. President Trump has set a 90-day deadline for the Chinese-owned video app to sell or shut down its US operations. Following Trump's executive order, Microsoft and Oracle were possible suitors to take over TikTok operations. Media reports last week had said that China would prefer to see TikTok US close down than allow a forced sale. TikTok&nbsp;has also sued the Trump administration over the ban order.

He later extended the deadline to 90 days. ByteDance has been looking to pick a buyer so it can finalize a deal by mid-September and comply with Trump's order to divest TikTok's assets.
