US EditionTrump says he’ll keep extending TikTok shutdown deadline
President Donald Trump has extended TikTok's U.S. sale deadline multiple times amid national security debates, with about one-third of Americans supporting a ban, Pew Research Center found.
- President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for TikTok's U.S. operations divestment until September 17, delaying a national ban.
- This extension follows a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets, although the administration has delayed enforcement and the spin-off deal collapsed after China withdrew.
- Trump said they have American buyers lined up, will monitor security concerns, and plans to extend the deadline until the complex situation resolves.
- Trump called privacy and national security concerns about TikTok 'highly overrated' and noted he used TikTok in his campaign and is a fan of the platform.
- The ongoing extensions highlight political division, as a recent Pew survey showed about one-third of Americans support a TikTok ban, down from 50% in March 2023.
