Quick Hit:

Vice President JD Vance expects a framework agreement to resolve TikTok’s ownership by April 5, as the Biden-era law requiring its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban looms. President Donald Trump had previously delayed enforcement of the law, allowing more time for negotiations. The White House is in discussions with multiple potential buyers to establish an American-owned version of the social media platform.

Key Details:

• Vice President Vance stated that a high-level agreement will likely be reached that meets national security concerns while creating a U.S.-based TikTok enterprise.

• President Trump signed an executive order in January, delaying the enforcement of a law requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban.

• The White House is engaged with four interested groups in potential acquisition talks.

Diving Deeper:

The fate of TikTok in the U.S. has been a subject of intense debate due to concerns over data security and its ties to the Chinese Communist Party through ByteDance. The law, originally passed under the Biden administration, sought to force the sale of the app due to fears that American user data could be accessed by the Chinese government. However, after taking office, President Trump extended the enforcement deadline by 75 days, giving room for negotiations.

Vice President Vance, speaking to NBC News aboard Air Force Two, expressed confidence that an agreement will be reached by April 5, though some details may still need to be finalized afterward. He and national security adviser Michael Waltz have been leading efforts to facilitate a sale that would address national security concerns while preserving TikTok’s massive American user base.

President Trump revealed last weekend that his administration is in talks with four different groups interested in acquiring the app. While the specifics of these negotiations remain undisclosed, the administration has made it clear that TikTok must operate as a distinct American entity to remain in the U.S. market.

As the deadline approaches, ByteDance has not publicly commented on the ongoing discussions. However, with bipartisan concerns over the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on U.S. technology platforms, the expectation is that any deal will include significant safeguards to prevent foreign interference in the app’s operations.

The coming weeks will determine whether a sale materializes or if further action will be needed to enforce the law. Either way, the Trump administration has signaled its commitment to ensuring that TikTok is no longer under the control of a hostile foreign adversary.

Mark Carney’s Fourth Liberal Term Will Be Just Like Justin’s

The following is a transcript of the Hon. Pierre Poilievre’s remarks from March 14th, 2025. These remarks have been edited for length. Check against delivery.

I begin by congratulating Justin Trudeau’s economic advisor, Mark Carney, on becoming Prime Minister, only 3 months after he moved his company headquarters out of Canada to New York.

Today, Liberals are trying to trick Canadians into electing them to a fourth term in power with a cabinet that is 87% the same as Trudeau’s cabinet.

100% of this Liberal cabinet served as Trudeau MPs. The same Liberal MPs who voted to hike the carbon tax, double the debt, double food bank line ups and double housing costs. The same Liberals all supported blocking pipelines, LNG plants, and passing the anti-energy law C-69 that has made Canada even more reliant on the United States.

Steven Guilbeault, the radical anti-development activist twice arrested for climbing on buildings and homes to protest our resource sector and who calls himself a socialist, has been promoted to minister responsible for Parks and Nature and minister for Quebec–meaning nothing will get built.

Meanwhile, all of Trudeau’s inner circle—Gerald Butts and Tom Pitfield—are now Carney’s top advisors. His chief of staff is a former Trudeau minister forced to resign for lying about moving Paul Bernardo out of a maximum security prison.

Mark Carney thinks Canadians are stupid. That with a little bit of cosmetic surgery, the Liberals will be able to disguise who they are and make people forget what they did for 10 years. It is the same Liberal gang, with the same Liberal agenda, the same Liberal results and the same Liberal promises as the last ten years, only now they are seeking a 4^th term in power.

Carbon Tax Carney also tried the same Carbon Tax Con-job I predicted weeks ago he would do. He announced he will hide the tax for the next two months until after the election is over, when he will bring back a bigger “shadow carbon tax” without any rebate. We know this because for the last 5 years, Carney has advised Trudeau to hike the tax. And recently, he said his new tax would hit steel, cars and other things Canadians need.

It is sneaky.

But it will not work.

Canadians know that over 10 years, the Trudeau-Carney Liberals doubled the debt, doubled housing costs and doubled foodbank line ups. They’ve made us weak facing the Americans.

Giving the Liberals a fourth term will not change any of that.

If you cannot afford food a home after three terms of these Liberals, that will not change with a fourth Liberal term.

If you are worried Canada is drowning in debt and taxes after three terms of these Liberals, that will not change with a fourth Liberal term.

If you are afraid of crime and chaos after three terms of Liberals, it will not change with a fourth term of Liberals.

If you are a senior choosing between heating and eating after 3 Liberal terms, there will not be any change with a fourth Liberal term.

If you are worried that Canada can’t get anything built and is more reliant on the U.S. than ever before, there will not be any change with a fourth Liberal term.

And it certainly won’t change with a conflicted Prime Minister who already sold-out Canada to move its headquarters to the United States only days after Trump threatened tariffs to take our jobs.

Carney puts himself first. Conservatives will put Canada first.

Putting Canada first means cutting bureaucracy and taxes. It means confronting President Trump to his face. Hitting back with counter tariffs. But it also means making Canada stronger at home. We will pass a massive Bring it Home Tax Cut on work, investment, energy, homebuilding and making stuff in Canada. We will reward your hard work with an income tax cut, so you bring home more of each dollar you earn.

We will cut bureaucracy, taxes and debt. We will take the GST off new homes to save you up to $50,000 & incentivize municipalities to speed up permits, free up land and cut development charges. We will axe the carbon tax for everyone forever to bring down energy costs for families and businesses.

We will repeal the Liberal No-New Pipelines Law C-69, and instead grant rapid permission to our companies to build more pipelines, more natural gas exports, more data centers, mines, and other natural resources to bring home powerful paychecks and production to our people.

We will carry out the biggest crackdown on crime, the borders and drugs. We will be self-reliant, sovereign and stand on our own feet. To stand up to the Americans. And stand up for ourselves.

We will reward work, unleash entrepreneurs, harvest our resources, make our own goods, trade with each other, build homes for our youth, rebuild our borders and military, honour history and raise our flag.

And to restore Canada’s promise: where hard work gets you a great life in a beautiful house on a safe street protected by brave troops under a proud flag. In Canada.

Let’s bring it home.
