Trump extends deadline for US TikTok sale to September
Until September 17, US President Donald Trump extended to the last date of a Chinese -based Bay, despite a law that requires a significant progress without significant progress.
Trump signed a manager order that pushed the last delivery date back 90 days on Thursday, a step he had pointed out before.
The Republican President has already made a sales from the federal implementation of a law that required to sell or close Tiktok, which must enter into force twice in January and made significant progress towards the sale.
Trump said he wanted to keep the application that helps young voters in the 2024 presidential elections in the United States.
He also expressed optimism that Chinese President Xi Jinping will approve an agreement that protects the application, but it is not clear how important the issue is to solve a tariff dispute of the two countries.
Tiktok, in a statement published on the website, “President Trump’s leadership and support for the leadership and grateful to ensure that Tiktok continues to exist,” he said.
The company said US Vice President JD Vance continues to work on this issue.
“President Trump will sign an additional executive order to continue Tiktok this week,” the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday. He said.
“President Trump does not want Tiktok to darken, dedi he added that the administration would spend the next three months by closing the sale, so that Americans could continue to use Tiktok with assurance that their data is safe and safe.
Trump said on Tuesday, “probably, yes”.
Air Force One told journalists, “probably have to get China’s approval, but I think we’ll get it,” he said.
“I think President Xi will ultimately approve.”
The 2024 Law required Tiktok to stop working until January 19 unless the Chinese parenting bank practice had completed the disposal of US assets or made significant progress towards a sale.
Trump began his second period as president on January 20 and chose not to implement the law. First, the last date of April was extended to the beginning of April and then until 19 June last month.
In March, Trump said he would be willing to reduce tariffs in China to make an agreement with Bayta to sell the short video application used by 170 million Americans.
This spring was an agreement that would turn Tiktok into a new company that would turn US operations into a new US -based company and return to a new company operated by US investors, but it was waiting after China would not approve Trump’s follow -up of tariffs on Chinese goods.
Some Democrats argue that Trump has no legal authority to extend the deadline date and that the agreement taken into consideration would not meet the legal requirements.
