U.S. President Donald Trump suggested he might extend the 75-day delay on enforcing a ban on TikTok but believes a deal will be reached to keep the app in the U.S. The ban stems from a law requiring its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the platform over national security concerns or face a ban, which took effect on January 19.
After taking office on January 20, Trump signed an executive order postponing enforcement by 75 days. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, he mentioned a 90-day timeline from “about two weeks ago” but was unclear about the reference. He expressed confidence that the deadline could be extended if necessary but did not think it would be required.
Trump acknowledged TikTok’s role in his 2024 presidential election victory, calling it a fair platform that helped him connect with young voters. He noted that the app’s image had changed and emphasized strong interest from potential U.S. buyers.
He also voiced optimism about China approving a sale, stating that it would benefit both countries. “I'm going to make it worthwhile for China,” he said, without providing specifics.
TikTok’s future in the U.S. remains uncertain, but Trump’s remarks suggest he is open to negotiations, avoiding an outright ban if a sale is completed.
