WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - TikTok said Tuesday it

had named former Boeing government affairs chief Ziad Ojakli as

the short video app's head of public policy for the Americas as

it works to complete a deal to separate its U.S. assets from its

parent company.

The move comes as TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance is

working to sell about an 80% stake in the short video app's U.S.

assets to a consortium of U.S. and global investors to meet the

national security requirements set out in a 2024 law. President

Donald Trump signed an executive order in September giving them

until late January to complete the deal.
