April 5th TikTok ban deadline extended AGAIN

Trump extended the TikTok ban deadline for 75 days … again.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he was signing an executive order to extend the deadline for TikTok’s nationwide ban another 75 days, raising questions about White House negotiators’ ability to lock down what they have said would be a takeover deal.

Trump said his administration had made “tremendous progress” toward a deal to protect the popular Chinese-owned video app from a legally mandated ban, scheduled to take effect this weekend, but that the deal proposal needed “more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed.”

“We hope to continue working in Good Faith with China, who I understand are not very happy about our Reciprocal Tariffs,” he said in a Truth Social post. “We do not want TikTok to ‘go dark.’ We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the Deal.”

TikTok’s Beijing-based owner, ByteDance, said in a statement that the company has “been in discussion” with the United States regarding a potential solution for TikTok but added: “An agreement has not been executed. There are key matters to be resolved. Any agreement will be subject to approval under Chinese law.”
