Approval of Oracle's deal to become a "trusted technology provider" for ByteDance's TikTok will be announced on Tuesday afternoon, CNBC's Jim Cramer reported. A source familiar with the matter later confirmed to CNBC's Eamon Javers that a decision could come Tuesday.
Oracle confirmed Monday it had struck a deal with the popular video-sharing app's Chinese parent company.
