U.S. President Donald Trump will issue another extension to decide the fate of TikTok, pushing it by 90 days, the White House said on Tuesday.
The current extension, which was signed in April, was set to expire on Thursday, June 19. However, Trump has decided to extend the deadline once more, allowing users to continue using the popular short-form video-sharing app.
According to a statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, “President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running.” The administration claims that they need more time to ensure that a deal is closed to allow Americans to continue using the app while ensuring their data remains safe and secure.
This move comes after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law to ban TikTok in January, resulting in app stores and service providers pulling support for the app in the U.S. In response to this decision, Trump signed an executive order just a few days into his presidency to delay the ban and explore a deal with Bytedance to divest its U.S. business.
In April, he issued another extension of 75 days to keep TikTok up and running.
