The former US Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, has surprised by revealing his interest in gathering investors to buy TikTok, the popular Chinese social network that is in the midst of a conflict with the Joe Biden administration and the US Congress. Mnuchin, who held the position during the Donald Trump administration, has expressed his belief that the app should be sold and owned by American companies. The news comes at a critical moment for TikTok, as the House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would force the social network to separate from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face the possibility of being banned in the US. This measure, aimed at protecting Americans from apps controlled by foreign adversaries, will need to be debated and voted on in the Senate. The potential acquisition of TikTok by Mnuchin and a group of investors adds to previous attempts by American companies like Oracle and Walmart to obtain a stake in the app in 2020, in a deal that ultimately did not materialize. This move is part of concerns about the security of user data and potential foreign influences on the platform's content. On the other hand, tensions between Venezuela and Argentina have intensified due to the recent seizure by the US of a Venezuelan cargo plane bound for Iran. This incident has sparked a diplomatic dispute between the South American countries, with Venezuela accusing Argentina of collaborating with US actions against it. Amid these events, the figure of Steven Mnuchin gains relevance due to his career in finance and politics, from his work at Goldman Sachs to his role as Treasury Secretary. His interest in acquiring TikTok raises questions about the future of the social network in the US and the potential impact on the international technological landscape. As these events unfold, it remains to be seen how the situation of TikTok will evolve, as well as the geopolitical implications of the conflict between Venezuela and Argentina. Mnuchin's influence in these scenarios could have significant consequences in the economic and political spheres, both domestically and internationally.
