President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that would help clear the way for a coalition of investors to run an American version of TikTok, one that is separate from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, so that it can keep operating in the United States.

特朗普总统于周四签署了一项行政命令，为一组投资者运营一个美国版的TikTok铺平道路。该版本将与其中国母公司字节跳动分离，从而使TikTok能够继续在美国运营。

The administration has been working for months to find non-Chinese investors for a U.S. TikTok company, which Vice President JD Vance said would be valued at $14 billion.

政府几个月来一直在努力为一家美国TikTok公司寻找非中国投资者，副总统JD·万斯表示，该公司估值将达到140亿美元。

The deal is aimed at helping TikTok comply with a federal law, which banned the app in the United States in January out of concern that Beijing could use it to gain access to Americans’ sensitive data or to spread propaganda. Mr. Trump has delayed enforcement of the ban repeatedly. The Thursday order gives negotiators until mid-January to finalize the deal.

这项交易旨在帮助TikTok遵守一项联邦法律。该法律出于对北京可能利用该应用获取美国用户敏感数据或传播宣传内容的担忧，于今年1月在美国禁止了TikTok。特朗普多次推迟该禁令的执行。这项周四发布的命令将谈判期限延长至明年1月中旬，以最终敲定交易。

“This deal really does mean that Americans can use TikTok, but actually use it with more confidence than they had in the past,” Mr. Vance said. “Their data is going to be secure and it’s not going to be used as a propaganda weapon against our fellow citizens.”

“这笔交易确实意味着美国人可以继续使用TikTok，而且比过去使用时更加安心，”万斯表示。“他们的数据将是安全的，也不会被用作针对我们同胞的宣传武器。”

Mr. Trump said Thursday that the U.S. TikTok investors were “American investors, American companies, great ones, great investors.”

特朗普在周四表示，美国版TikTok的投资者均为“美国投资者、美国公司，都是非常优秀的公司和出色的投资者。”

But an Emirati investment firm is expected to join the coalition of companies that will invest in the new American TikTok company, according to two people familiar with the talks.

不过，据两名知情人士透露，一家阿联酋投资公司预计将加入投资美国TikTok新公司的财团。

The Emirati firm, MGX, would join companies based in the United States, like the tech giant Oracle and the investment firm Silver Lake, the people said. Mr. Trump said Thursday that the media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the technology chief executive Michael Dell were also involved as investors.

他们还透露，这家名为MGX的阿联酋公司将与美国的企业一同参与投资，包括科技巨头甲骨文和投资公司银湖资本。特朗普周四表示，媒体大亨鲁珀特·默多克和科技公司首席执行官迈克尔·戴尔也作为投资者参与其中。

MGX did not immediately return a request for comment. Fox Corporation and Mr. Dell’s investment firm, BDT & MSD Partners, declined to comment.

MGX未立即回应置评请求。福克斯公司和戴尔的投资公司BDT & MSD Partners均拒绝置评。

The MGX investment is the latest example of the Emiratis using their deep pockets to help Mr. Trump. In recent months, representatives of the Gulf State have pledged to invest $1.4 trillion in the U.S. economy over the next decade, and MGX has said it has deposited $2 billion in a cryptocurrency start-up founded by the Trump family.

MGX的这笔投资是阿联酋利用雄厚财力支持特朗普的最新例证。近几个月来，这个海湾国家的代表承诺将在未来十年向美国经济投资1.4万亿美元，MGX表示，已向一家由特朗普家族创办的加密货币初创公司注资20亿美元。

The TikTok talks and the MGX crypto investment played out as the Emiratis were pursuing a sale of valuable artificial intelligence chips. The Emiratis’ ability to buy the chips had been limited by the Biden administration over concerns about the Gulf State’s ties to China. But the Emiratis had been pressing the Trump administration to change U.S. policy, so they could build data centers and become an A.I. powerhouse.

在TikTok投资谈判和MGX加密货币投资展开的同时，阿联酋方面也在推动美国出售宝贵的人工智能芯片。由于拜登政府担忧阿联酋与中国的关系，该国购买这些芯片的能力此前受到限制。但阿联酋一直在向特朗普政府施压，希望改变美国的政策，以便建设数据中心并成为人工智能强国。

During Mr. Trump’s trip to Abu Dhabi in May, the administration agreed to sell the Emiratis 500,000 A.I. chips for a data center campus that would be among the largest in the world.

在特朗普今年5月访问阿布扎比期间，政府同意向阿联酋出售50万枚人工智能芯片，用于一个将跻身全球最大数据中心园区之列的项目。

MGX, which has been discussing the TikTok investment for months, was one of several companies in the TikTok deal that stood to benefit from the Emirates’ data center project. Oracle, the cloud computing provider and TikTok investor, will be building a data center that will cost about $20 billion in the Emirates. Silver Lake, an investment company and TikTok investor, has a stake in one of the partners in that project, G42, an Emirati A.I. company.

MGX已就TikTok投资事宜谈判数月，是多家参与该交易的公司之一，而这些公司有望从阿联酋的数据中心项目中获益。作为云计算服务提供商和TikTok投资方的甲骨文公司将在阿联酋建设一个耗资约200亿美元的数据中心。银湖资本也是TikTok的投资方之一，它在该项目的合作伙伴之一——阿联酋人工智能公司G42中持有股份。

While there is no evidence that the chip deal was offered in return for any other transactions, two Democratic senators have asked inspectors general at the Commerce and State Departments to investigate whether Trump administration officials violated ethic rules in the multibillion-dollar deals involving the Emiratis.

尽管目前没有证据表明芯片交易是作为其他交易的回报，但两名民主党参议员已要求商务部和国务院的监察长展开调查，以确定特朗普政府官员在与阿联酋有关的数十亿美元交易中是否违反了道德规范。

Mr. Trump has said that China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, had signed off on the framework for a deal. A readout of the call from a Chinese state-run news agency was more vague, but Mr. Xi appeared to support a commercial solution to TikTok.

特朗普表示，中国最高领导人习近平已批准了一项协议框架。一家中国官方通讯社发布的通话纪要措辞较为模糊，但习近平似乎支持通过商业方式解决TikTok问题。
