Trump extends TikTok ban deadline for 3rd time

President Donald Trump announced he signed an executive order Thursday extending the deadline for TikTok’s ban.

ByteDance, the parent company of the social media platform, was forced to sell its company or be shut down, by an act of Congress passed last year.

This will be Trump’s third time pausing the enforcement of the bipartisan law passed in Congress that gave ByteDance until Jan. 19 to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations or be removed from app stores nationwide.

Upon taking office, Trump delayed the ban’s enforcement for 75 days before announcing another 75-day extension in April, after a potential deal to sell the app to American owners was curtailed due to Trump’s imposition of steep tariffs on Chinese goods.
