Trump’s Big Move Shakes TikTok: WH Press Sec Leavitt Confirms 90-Day Extension
President Trump has issued yet another executive order granting TikTok a 90-day extension in the U.S., buying more time to shift its ownership from China’s ByteDance to an American entity. The announcement, made on Truth Social, reignited debate over TikTok’s future and national data security. This marks Trump’s third extension since TikTok was briefly banned following a court-approved national law. His administration insists the move is meant to keep users “scrolling without risking their data.” A previous deal nearly succeeded in April, but collapsed after China pulled out in response to Trump’s tariff measures. Now, with negotiations once again in limbo, TikTok’s future hangs in the balance.
