President Donald Trump has once again moved to delay the potential ban on TikTok, allowing the app to operate in the United States for an additional 75 days. This extension comes after months of uncertainty surrounding the platform, which has faced scrutiny since the latter days of the Biden administration. Several companies, including Oracle and Amazon, have expressed interest in purchasing TikTok’s American operations. YouTube star MrBeast even organized a group of investors to acquire the platform.

However, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has shown reluctance to sell its U.S. business, which has created an ongoing saga that has lasted over a year. By selling TikTok’s American operations, all data collected from U.S. users would be stored domestically and would give the new owner control over how that data is utilized. For instance, the company Perplexity has proposed fundamental changes to TikTok’s existing search algorithm. The TikTok ban has encountered yet another delay.

Following Trump’s return to office, he has been issuing executive orders with frequency, and this latest one adds to that list. Recent reports indicate that Trump signed an executive order extending TikTok’s stay in the U.S. by 75 days, allowing the administration time to negotiate a resolution. Trump indicated that, if ByteDance agreed to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations, he could consider lowering the current 34% tariff on Chinese goods; however, ByteDance chose not to pursue the sale, leaving Trump with limited options. As the previous deadline would have expired over the weekend, this new extension pushes the decision to mid-June.

The administration is hopeful that an agreement can be reached before that time.
