U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a further extension for ByteDance, the China-based owner of TikTok, to sell its U.S. assets. Originally set to expire earlier, the deadline has now been pushed to September 17, offering the company additional time to secure a deal and comply with U.S. regulations.
The extension follows a series of reprieves granted by Trump in an attempt to keep the popular app available to American users. With the app playing a crucial role in engaging young voters during the 2024 presidential election, Trump remains hopeful for approval from Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
Administration officials, including White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, have stated that the extension is legally sound and vital to protecting U.S. consumer data. While some Democratic lawmakers question the legality of Trump’s actions, negotiations continue, focusing on reducing tariffs to facilitate a potential tikTok divestment deal.
