President Donald Trump plans to extend the pause on enforcing the TikTok ban
once again, The Wall Street Journal reports. Trump previously extended the
pause on April 4 to give TikTok, its potential US buyers and the Chinese
government more time to reach an agreement, but the deal has made little
progress since then.

The current pause on enforcement is supposed to end on June 19. Given the
state of the negotiations between the US and China, the odds of a deal being
reached before then seem highly unlikely. The issue hasn't been helped by the
fluctuating tariffs the Trump administration has attempted to levy on goods
manufactured outside of the US, which started on April 2 and at one point
included a 125 percent tariff on everything shipped from China.

The two countries are expected to restart trade negotiations at some point in
the near-future, according to The New York Times, but there's been no public
mention of a TikTok sale being a key part of the discussion. A number of
investors are still looking to own a piece of the US version of the app,
including the software company Oracle, which has a pre-existing relationship
with TikTok as a cloud provider.

The TikTok ban went into effect on January 19. TikTok tried to appeal the ban
beforehand, but the Supreme Court ultimately decided to uphold it, prompting
Trump's first executive order pausing the ban on January 20, 2025.
