Trump says he signed executive order extending deadline for TikTok closing

  • On June 19, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a directive that postponed the deadline for TikTok’s sale in the United States by an additional 90 days, moving the cutoff date to September 17.
  • This extension follows two previous delays on January 20 and in April, after a 2024 bipartisan law required ByteDance to sell TikTok over national security concerns.
  • Trump has expressed support for TikTok, which has 170 million U.S. users, while the administration seeks a deal to transfer ownership to U.S. hands amid data security fears.
  • The White House announced a 90-day extension allowing Americans to keep using TikTok with assurances that their data will remain protected, while Senator Mark Warner criticized the administration for disregarding the associated national security concerns.
  • The ongoing delays keep TikTok operational but raise questions about legal limits and the prospects of a sale, suggesting the app's U.S. future remains uncertain.
