WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aiming to kickstart the creation of a US sovereign wealth fund that he said could be used to save TikTok.
'Other countries have sovereign wealth funds, and they're much smaller countries, and they're not the United States,' Trump told reporters after signing the order.A sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment fund that manages a country's excess reserves, typically derived from natural resource revenues or trade surpluses, to generate long-term returns.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters the fund would be set up in the next 12 months.Trump cited the purchase of popular video-sharing app TikTok as a potential example of a transaction that could be facilitated by a US fund, though he did not give details of what he had in mind.'We might put that in the sovereign wealth fund, whatever we make, or if we do a partnership with very wealthy people,' he said.
