Tiktok will last at least one and three months in the United States, as President Donald Trump is ready to expand the sale or ban deadline for the third time since assuming office.
“President Trump will sign an additional executive order this week,” said Karolin Levit, secretary of the White House press on Tuesday.
The popular video sharing app was to be banned in the US after his Chinese owner, bidence, refused to sell it to the American buyer by the January 1 time.
Tiktok and bytedance did not immediately respond to the recommendations of the BBC.
Lewit stated that the 90-day extension “would ensure that the deal is closed so that American people can continue using Tikkok with the assurance that their data is safe and safe.”
Before the announcement of Levit, Trump Told BBC That he will expand “perhaps” tiktok.
“We might have to seek China’s approval,” said Trump. “I think we will get it. I think President Xi will eventually approve it.”
Asked if they have the legal basis for expanding the deadline, they replied: “We do.”
Trump is expanded with the desire of the Congress on obstacles, which passed the sales-or-affair measures last year. His predecessor, former President Joe Biden immediately signed the bill in the law.
The purpose of the law was to remove concerns that Tiktok, which has 170 million American users, can be used by China as a tool for spy and political manipulation.
The Supreme Court agreed with a lower court and upheld the law in January just before Trump was scheduled to take over to take over.
The stage was briefly dark for a few hours during the weekend before Trump’s inauguration.
Ticketok praised Trump for saving the platform after being rebuilt.
Trump tried to force an American buyer to sell Tiktok in 2020 during his first term in the office.
But last year, Trump said he liked the stage because he believed that it had helped him win the 2024 presidential election.
Trump said in December, “I have a warm place in my heart for Tikok, as I won the youth by 34 points in December, although most young voters supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Trump’s unilateral deadline extension has inspired some analysts to dismiss the notion that a restriction can occur at the office anytime during their time.
“What is the ban? There is nothing about the possible ticket ban,” said Forester Principal Analyst Calci Chikking.
“Ticketkok’s behavior also indicates that they are confident in their future, as they rolled the new AI video tool this week.”
“Little players, such as Snap, will try to steal shares during this” uncertain time “, but they will not succeed because the next round for Tikok is not at all uncertain at all,” MS Chiking said.
The Trump administration said in April that the US and China had passed a deal, which would have placed majority control over the US Operations of Tikok under American ownership. That deal has yet to be physically physic.
“An important matters are to be resolved,” said a spokesman for a bidens at a time. “Any agreement will be subject to approval under Chinese law.”
Trump has said that he would be open to sell it to Cloud Computing Giant Oracle, with a long-standing associate of Larry Ellison Trump.
Billionaire Frank McCourt, Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leeri, and Redit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is part of another team bidding for the stage.
And the largest Youtuber in the world, Jimmy Donaldson – aka MRbeast – has also said that he is also interested in buying tiktok as part of a separate investor group.
