* The deadline for TikTok's owner to find a buyer or face a ban in America is looming, but an extension is expected for a fourth time.
* US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are leading the negotiations to end the trade war between the two countries' economies.
* Trump has reversed his stance on TikTok and delayed its ban three times so far.
* Trump said that letting TikTok "die" is an option, but it depends on China's actions.
* The talks are also expected to lay the groundwork for a potential meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in October.
