WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump said Monday that "a lot of people" will be bidding to own TikTok.

"I became a little bit jaded towards TikTok, but we'll see what happens. We're going to have a lot of people bidding on it," Trump told House Republicans in Miami.

He also said he does not want China to be involved in the short video-sharing app.

"China won't be involved. You don't want China involved, but we'll see what happens," he said.

Trump signed an executive order last Monday in an attempt to delay a ban of the popular app for 75 days.

According to the order, he is pursuing a resolution that protects national security while saving a platform used by 170 million Americans.

Discussions over TikTok's future continue, with American investors and companies showing interest.

Trump has indicated that a deal is expected soon, stressing that the US must benefit from any agreement.
