"We believe this deal will benefit the U.S. in many ways, including bringing over 25,000 jobs over time as well as continuing to develop exciting, innovative products for people to enjoy around the world," Walmart said in a statement on Saturday.
Trump added that he welcomes the possibility of a U.S.-based TikTok as a competitor for current American social media giants.
