Trump says he signed executive order extending deadline for TikTok closing
- On Thursday, June 19, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that prolongs TikTok’s operation in the United States for an additional 90 days to allow more time for negotiations regarding the platform’s ownership.
- This extension marks the third delay set to allow a deal for ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to sell the app to American ownership by September 17.
- TikTok continues operating for its 170 million U.S. users with tech firms Apple, Google, and Oracle agreeing to support the app based on promises from Trump's Justice Department.
- Democratic Senator Mark Warner condemned the Trump administration for disregarding its own national security assessments regarding the dangers posed by TikTok, while recent polling indicates that support for banning the platform among Americans has decreased to roughly one-third, compared to half of respondents in March 2023.
- The repeated executive extensions have drawn scrutiny but no legal challenges, suggesting the US government is buying more time to finalize a TikTok sale amid divided public opinion and ongoing national security concerns.
