The TikTok countdown deadline
The US Congress last year threatened unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sold its controlling stake.
Lawmakers were concerned about how the company handles US-based user data amid open questions regarding the Chinese government influence.
Trump has repeatedly extended the deadline for shutting down the popular app since returning to office in January.
In mid-June, he extended the deadline by 90 days, moving it to September 17, to allow time to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the United States.
US and Chinese officials have reached a framework deal to resolve it, Bessent said.
There were no immediate comments from the Chinese delegation or ByteDance.
