Trump Extends TikTok Deadline Again: What’s Next for the App in the US?
Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump is set to grant TikTok another extension this week, delaying the deadline for the Chinese company ByteDance to divest its U.S.operations. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed the move, stating that Trump will sign an executive order to keep the popular video-sharing application running in the United States [[ref]].This marks the third time Trump has extended the deadline, averting a potential shutdown of the app for millions of American users.
Another 90 Days for TikTok
The extension will provide an additional 90 days for the administration to work towards a final agreement that ensures the data of American TikTok users is protected.”As he said repeatedly, he doesn’t wont TikTok to disappear,” Leavitt stated. the previous deadline, set for June 19, would have effectively banned TikTok in the U.S. if no deal was reached.
Did You Know? TikTok has over 1 billion active users worldwide, making it one of the most popular social media platforms globally [[ref]].
Trump’s “Weak Spot” for TikTok
Trump himself has acknowledged a “soft spot” for TikTok, suggesting the platform contributed to his success in the last election by boosting his approval among young voters. “TikTok treated me very well. I won young people by 37% (of approval difference),” he said in May.
However, securing a final agreement may require approval from China.”Probably yes,yes. We probably have to get China’s approval, but I think we will get it. I think President Xi (jinping) finally you will approve it,” Trump stated.
background: TikTok as a “National Adversary”
Under the previous administration of President joe Biden, Congress passed a law requiring TikTok to find an investor from a country not considered a “national adversary” before Trump took office in January 2025. When no agreement was reached, TikTok briefly ceased operations in the U.S. until Trump signed an executive order granting the initial 75-day extension upon his return to the White House.
