WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - An agreement between

Washington and Beijing on the future of TikTok will include

Americans holding six of seven board seats for the short video

app's U.S. operations and China's ByteDance naming the seventh

board member, a senior White House official said on Saturday.

The official said the agreement will also require that all

data on American users will be stored on U.S. cloud computing

infrastructure run by U.S. software firm Oracle.

U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to close a final

deal to keep the popular platform from closing. Congress had

ordered the app shut down for U.S. users by January 2025 if its

U.S. assets were not sold by Chinese owner ByteDance.

On Friday, Trump said he and Chinese President Xi

Jinping made progress on a TikTok agreement in a phone call and

would meet face-to-face in six weeks. It has not been clear in

Beijing's statements how advanced the progress has been.

Trump administration officials have been adamant that

major parts of the agreement are already done, including that

the U.S. will have some control over the app's algorithm. U.S.

officials had warned the algorithm could be used by China to

manipulate what Americans see on social media.

The senior White House official said the agreement meant

the TikTok algorithm "will be secured, retrained, and operated

in the United States outside of ByteDance's control."

The official said U.S. users would still be able to use

TikTok to interact with content from around the world.

ByteDance would hold less than 20% of the stock of a

joint venture controlling TikTok's U.S. operations, the official

said.
