*📰Trump Extends TikTok Ban Deadline for the Third Time, Keeping App Active for Three More Months* *FOLLOW THIS CHANNEL✅* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCpFg0ICVfdASZ22l39 Group Link https://chat.whatsapp.com/IMZjTpN9TNd8xSYNa4phoS TikTok will continue to operate in the United States for at least three more months, as President Donald Trump plans to extend the deadline for a potential sale or ban for the third time this year. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that Trump will sign an Executive Order this week to keep TikTok running. The app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, was set to be banned after it failed to sell to a U.S. buyer by January. Leavitt stated that the 90-day extension is meant to ensure a deal is finalized, allowing Americans to use TikTok with more confidence about their data security. Before this announcement, Trump suggested to the BBC that he would "probably" extend the deadline, indicating he believes he can obtain approval from China for any potential deal. This extension comes despite Congress passing a sale-or-ban law last year, which was signed into effect by former President Joe Biden. The law addresses concerns that TikTok might be used by China for spying or political manipulation, especially given its 170 million American users. The Supreme Court upheld this law in January, just before Trump took office. TikTok briefly went offline for a few hours during that time but was later restored. Analysts, like Kelsey Chickering from Forrester, believe TikTok is confident about its future, especially after launching new AI video tools at a recent event. While smaller competitors like Snap may try to gain users during this period, they are unlikely to succeed. Trump has previously expressed interest in having TikTok sold to American companies, including cloud giant Oracle. Other potential buyers include billionaire Frank McCourt and YouTuber MrBeast, among others. -BBC
