US EditionTrump says he signed executive order extending deadline for TikTok closing
UNITED STATES, JUN 19 – President Trump signed a third executive order extending TikTok's U.S. divestment deadline by 90 days to allow more time for a sale amid ongoing national security concerns.
- On June 19, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that extended the deadline for TikTok’s sale, allowing the app to continue operating in the U.S. for an additional 90 days.
- This extension follows a bipartisan 2024 law requiring TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance to sell the app due to national security concerns over potential data access by China.
- Previous extensions occurred on January 20 and in April 2025 after the app went dark briefly due to a national ban upheld by Congress and the Supreme Court, while a deal to spin off TikTok collapsed.
- TikTok serves 170 million U.S. users, and despite political pressure and divided public opinion—with only about one-third now supporting a ban—the platform continues operating with support from Apple, Google, and Oracle.
- The extension allows more time to negotiate U.S. ownership, though critics like Senator Mark Warner say the administration is ignoring legal processes and national security findings, indicating ongoing legal and political contention.
