U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order extending the operational validity of the multimedia platform TikTok in the United States for an additional 90 days.
According to Trump’s announcement, TikTok will remain accessible until September 17, 2025. Negotiations are ongoing to require the Chinese company ByteDance to sell its shares in the platform to an American investor, including the possibility of the U.S. government becoming part of the transaction.
On May 5, Trump had stated he would extend the previous June 19 deadline for ByteDance to sell TikTok if no agreement was reached by that date.
In a statement, Trump emphasized that the TikTok app played a significant role in gaining support from young voters in the 2024 presidential election, adding, “TikTok is – it’s very interesting.”
