Washington — President Trump on Friday said he would sign another executive order to delay enforcement of a law that effectively bans TikTok as a deal to sell the widely popular platform remains a work in progress.
Trump said his EO will give TikTok's Chinese parent company another 75 days to sell its stake in the social media app or else be banned in the U.S.
Trump said he would again sign an executive order extending the deadline for TikTok to find a new owner for its US operations.
TikTok will live to see another day — at least for now. On April 4, President Donald Trump signed a new executive order delaying the ban on the popular social media app for another 75 days. The app was to go dark in the U.S. on April 5.
Trump announced the decision hours after China issued retaliatory tariffs in response to his “Liberation Day” salvo of reciprocal levies.
