President Trump announced he would delay TikTok’s enforceable sell-by deadline by 75 days, indicating a need for more work on the deal. He indicated that the administration was committed to negotiating in good faith with China amidst rising trade tensions. The extension allows TikTok crucial time, as a federal law took effect in January banning the app unless it separated from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The Supreme Court upheld this ban in 2025, citing concerns over national security. Trump's promise to further delay the app's status offers a temporary reprieve amid ongoing controversies.
President Trump has again promised to delay enforcement of TikTok's sell-by date, extending the video app's effective deadline to sever ties with its China-based corporate owner by 75 days.
The White House's TikTok deal 'requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed,' Trump wrote on Truth Social, emphasizing ongoing negotiations.
The Friday reprieve provides TikTok with a bit of breathing room in what has been a bumpy year, following a nationwide federal law that banned the service.
TikTok fought the ban all the way to the Supreme Court, but the high court upheld the law in early 2025, citing national security concerns.
