President Donald Trump said he was dealing with "four different groups" of potential buyers for TikTok. "A lot of people want it and it's up to me," he told reporters on Air Force One Sunday.

Trump didn't elaborate on who the potential buyers are. Some groups, such as one led by former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, have said publicly they are interested in acquiring the U.S. assets of TikTok but as recently as Friday said they didn't have any insight into ByteDance's willingness to sell the app.

Trump said last week he might extend an April 5 deadline for enforcing a law passed last year that forces TikTok in the U.S. to separate from its Chinese parent ByteDance or shut down.
