    WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump does not want China's ByteDance to maintain a controlling interest in TikTok because it could put Americans' personal information at risk, a senior administration official speaking on condition of anonymity said on Thursday.

    ByteDance is racing to clinch an agreement with the White House that will stave off a U.S. ban on the popular short video app that Trump has threatened could happen as early as next week. (Reporting by Steve Holland Writing by Andy Sullivan; Editing by Sandra Maler)
