Trump Delays TikTok Ban by Another 75 Days

President Trump has announced an executive order to extend the deadline for banning TikTok by another 75 days.

The announcement was made via a post on Truth Social, in which Trump stated:

My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress. The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for an additional 75 days. We hope to continue working in Good Faith with China, who I understand are not very happy about our Reciprocal Tariffs (Necessary for Fair and Balanced Trade between China and the U.S.A.!). This proves that Tariffs are the most powerful Economic tool, and very important to our National Security! We do not want TikTok to "go dark." We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the Deal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!


President Trump reportedly met with White House officials to weigh the options regarding TikTok earlier this week. There has been talk of a deal involving U.S. investors such as Oracle and Blackstone, as well as a last-minute bid from Amazon.
