(Telecompaper) Walmart has confirmed it's in talks to join Microsoft's bid to acquire TikTok's US business. The retail giant said its business could benefit from TikTok's success in integrating e-commerce and advertising in other markets, helping it reach more online customers and grow its third-party marketplace and advertising businesses. Walmart said its partnership with Microsoft could not only meet the expectations of US TikTok users but also satisfy US government regulators.
