WASHINGTON (Reuters) -TikTok said Tuesday it had named former Boeing government affairs chief Ziad Ojakli as the short video app's head of public policy for the Americas as it works to complete a deal to separate its U.S. assets from its parent company. The move comes as TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance is working to sell about an 80% stake in the short video app's U.S. assets to a consortium of U.S. and global investors to meet the national security requirements set out in a 2024 law. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in September giving them until late January to complete the deal. (Reporting by David Shepardson, Editing by Franklin Paul)
