Trump delays TikTok ban another 75 days with new executive order

With hours to go until the law banning TikTok in the US would have taken effect and no deal to sell the platform in sight, President Trump signed a new executive order to keep the app up and running. As a result of Trump's latest action, TikTok parent company ByteDance has another 75 days to find a buyer for its US assets ahead of a potential ban.

"My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress," Trump revealed on Truth Social on Friday. "The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for an additional 75 days."

He went on to note that he hopes to continue working with China in good faith, even though he understands the country is "not very happy" about his new tariffs—the same ones that convinced Nintendo to delay Switch 2 preorders.
