The Trump administration is in contact with four different groups about the sale of Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok on Sunday (Monday AEDT).
TikTok's fate has been uncertain since 19 January, when ByteDance was forced to sell it on national security grounds or face a ban. In his first executive order, United States President Donald Trump sought to delay the enforcement of the law by 75 days after taking office on 20 January.
On Air Force One, Trump responded to reporters by saying, "It could".
"We're dealing with four different groups, and a lot of people want it ... all four are good," he added.
Analysts estimate TikTok could be worth $50 billion, which has attracted several potential buyers, including former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt.
Trump recently floated the idea of the U.S. acquiring a 50% stake in the platform through a joint venture. This could involve a sovereign wealth fund.
TikTok faces a ban if its U.S. business is not sold to an American buyer by 5 April.
