President Trump has granted TikTok a second 75-day extension to comply with a law requiring the app to sell its US operations or face a ban, as it navigates negotiations with the Trump administration. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, acknowledged ongoing discussions but noted unresolved matters with China regarding any potential agreement. The extension highlights concerns over data privacy and the platform's ownership amid significant user engagement in the US. Critics of a ban cite freedom of speech issues, while talks for a potential American buyer are reportedly in progress.
We do not want TikTok to 'go dark'," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the Deal.
There are key matters to be resolved. Any agreement will be subject to approval under Chinese law," a spokesperson said.
