President Donald Trump said on Friday he would extend the deadline for TikTok to find a U.S. buyer by an additional 75 days to “ensure all necessary approvals are signed,” while preventing the popular social media app from going dark in the United States.
“My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for an additional 75 days.”
