For those of you who are late to this story, the Chinese owned social media platform TikTok should have been banned by now in the US. After all Congress passed a law to do just that. But President Trump has kicked the can down the road once after coming into office. And now it appears that he’s done it again:
President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for the TikTok ban by 75 days. Trump shared a post on Truth Social on Friday stating that he is signing an executive order to allow for more time to finalize a deal.
“My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress,” Trump wrote. “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.
He continued, “We hope to continue working in Good Faith with China, who I understand are not very happy about our Reciprocal Tariffs (Necessary for Fair and Balanced Trade between China and the U.S.A.!). This proves that Tariffs are the most powerful Economic tool, and very important to our National Security! We do not want TikTok to ‘go dark.’ We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the Deal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Keep in mind that this is the same guy who wanted to ban TikTok and either force a sale or have it go dark. So you have to wonder why he wants to save TikTok. Regardless, we have another 75 days of sitting and waiting to see how this plays out.
