United States takes charge of TikTok operations

In a significant development, Poland has accused Russia of violating a security zone in the Baltic Sea. The exact nature of the violation, such as a military exercise or incursion, remains unspecified.

The accusation was made during a press conference held by U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on September 19. It is not clear if any international bodies have been informed about this accusation.

Meanwhile, the TikTok deal, a topic discussed during the same press conference, appears to be progressing. According to Trump's statement, work on the deal is already underway.

The investors for the TikTok deal consortium include Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, and are likely to involve Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Dell Technologies’ Michael Dell. The new entity, once formed, is expected to be controlled predominantly by U.S. members, with Chinese stakeholders retaining a minority share. Preparations for this deal are underway following approval from Chinese President Xi.

Interestingly, Trump stated that he does not have any concerns that China might maintain control over TikTok in some form, even if a deal is reached. The consequences of any violation, in this case or any other, have not been provided.

The security zone referred to in the TikTok deal is not specified but is presumably a recognized maritime boundary. The timing and details of the alleged violation in the Baltic Sea are also not specified.
