Trump to extend TikTok ban enforcement deadline after China tariffs derail deal

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will again postpone enforcement of the TikTok sale-or-ban law for 75 days. The delay comes after Trump’s tariff announcement derailed a deal that had been set to transfer control of the app’s US operations to American ownership, a source familiar with the deal told CNN.

“My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress. The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed,” Trump said in a poston Truth Social. Trump on Friday signed an executive order formalizing the delay in enforcement, a source familiar with the order told CNN.

The announcement comes just one day before the ban was set to go into effect, after Trump delayed by an initial 75 days it when he took office in January.
