TikTok parent company ByteDance Ltd. is once again racing toward a deadline to sell off its popular video app or face a ban in the US. Several interested buyers have publicly emerged, and the most discussed deal scenarios involve a key role for a longtime partner of the video platform: Oracle Corp.

Oracle has become the front runner to assume TikTok’s U.S. operations—though it remains unclear what kind of deal will be struck. It’s also unclear if ByteDance is even on board with the transfer of operations.

Vice President JD Vance told reporters Friday there will “almost certainly” be some kind of agreement before Trump’s block on the TikTok ban expires April 5.
