NPR - The U.S. government plans to collect a multibillion-dollar fee from the American investors set to take over TikTok's U.S. operations. The Trump administration recently approached the investors, who include tech mogul Larry Ellison and the Murdochs, to inquire if they would make a payment to the federal government in "in the low billions," according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks. Their response was an unequivocal yes. Some experts call the fee and other deals like it "extortion."
