TikTok will remain operational in the U.S. for at least another three months, as President Trump plans to sign an executive order extending the sale or ban deadline for the third time. This extension aims to solidify the ongoing negotiations about the app’s ownership to address concerns regarding user data safety. Trump suggested he expects approval from President Xi and emphasized the urgency of these discussions amid congressional legislation focused on the app's potential as a tool for espionage.
President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running, extending the deadline due to ongoing discussions.
This 90-day extension is to ensure this deal is closed so the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe.
Trump’s extension is at odds with the will of Congress, which passed the sale-or-ban measure last year to address spying and political manipulation concerns.
TikTok has 170 million American users and its fate rests on negotiations between the Trump Administration and China’s government regarding data security.
