<h1>U.S. and China leaders ready to discuss deal for Chinese-owned app to divest control, protect user data and IP</h1> The U.S. president and China's top leader are poised to discuss a proposed deal allowing a Chinese-owned social media app to continue operating in the United States by divesting its controlling stake to comply with a recently enacted U.S. law addressing national security and data privacy. Negotiations touch on transfer of user data custody, authorization for use of proprietary algorithms, and intellectual property safeguards. The leaders' call could also shape broader trade talks, tariff and export-control relief, and potential summit timing. Remaining disputes include tech export limits, agricultural purchases, and enforcement of measures tied to opioid-precursor controls.
