Are you talking about Bytedance or TikTok because they aren’t the same thing.



I assume you are talking about TikTok US and not Bytedance US. Which if I remembered correctly, Bytedance tried to sell TikTok US back in his first term and China had to draft an approval law to stop Bytedance from humiliating China.

Beijing also "resigned" ByteDance's founder and CEO over that.

After failure to pressure Colombia, Mexico, and Latin America in general, now they failed even amongst Arabs. By this time I think even Trump realized how different the world got from his first term.

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to care much about real-life practical results and go ballistic, as long as he can offer something to low IQ MAGA supporters domestically to chew as imagined 'victory',

For example, you can just outright reject any demands strategic to the US interests as long as you endure some fictional funny press about how you "folded", "bent" and Trump's personal machismo.

A confrontation is brewing between Trump and Saudi Arabia over oil prices, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources.

Trump’s team has already realized that significantly increasing U.S. oil production to lower global prices is not feasible.

"According to oil company executives, another American oil boom is not expected anytime soon, regardless of how many regulations are lifted. After many producers drilled themselves into bankruptcy during the peak of the shale boom, the industry is now focused on cutting costs and returning money to investors," WSJ writes.

As a result, Trump has decided to persuade Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries to flood the market with more oil. However, Saudi Arabia has already stated that it has no intention of doing so.

Trump's team aims to lower oil prices to $45 per barrel (currently at $73, compared to over $94 in 2022). But such a drop could be "catastrophic" for American shale producers and Saudi Arabia—"Trump’s two most influential allies in the global oil market."

Dozens of shale drillers went bankrupt in 2020 when prices collapsed due to COVID. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia would struggle to balance its budget at such price levels.

Notably, so far, Trump has only managed to raise oil prices by introducing tariffs.

Considering the inflation in other products. Oil price at 73 is nothing like oil price back in 2008.
