This week, President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to extend the deadline for TikTok's Chinese owner to divest the US operations of the wildly popular video-sharing app, the White House has announced.
Initially signed in early April, the executive order seeks to keep TikTok available for US users as a potential deal to transfer ownership to Americans remains in negotiation limbo.
The extended 90-day period will be used to solidify a deal, aiming to reassure American users of their data's security. President Trump acknowledges the ongoing talks with China, expressing optimism that President Xi Jinping will eventually approve the business transition.
