Bessent Says TikTok Deal Framework Reached With China; Charges Against Kirk’s Suspected Assassin to Be Filed Tuesday

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that a framework for a deal on TikTok had been reached in trade talks between the United States and China in Madrid—a deal that would pave the way for a transition to U.S. ownership. Bessent said further details would be determined later in a meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping when they speak on Friday. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has confirmed that official charges will be filed against Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, on Tuesday. Cox told the media that the information released with the filings will include more details of the events surrounding Kirk's assassination, as well as more specific information on the suspect.
