President Donald Trump will, once again, give TikTok a temporary reprieve as
it faces another deadline to sell itself or face a ban in the United States.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that Trump
will sign another executive order to extend the deadline.

The latest extension ΓÇö this time for 90 days ΓÇö is now the third time
Trump has punted on a looming TikTok ban since he took office in January.
ΓÇ£As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go
dark," Leavitt said in a statement reported by CNN. "This extension will last
90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is
closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the
assurance that their data is safe and secure.ΓÇ¥

US officials are presumably still negotiating terms of a potential deal that
would allow TikTok to remain operational in the United States, though there's
been little news on that front since the last extension in April. A number of
potential buyers are interested in acquiring TikTok's US business, but
officials in China would need to sign off on any agreement. In April, several
reports suggested that a deal would likely involve the company's existing US
investors rolling over their stakes into a new entity. Those talks were
derailed by Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports.
