US President Donald Trump Extends TikTok Divestment Deadline by 90 Days

The White House announced that US President Donald Trump will extend the June 19 deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok by an additional 90 days. This extension comes despite a law mandating that TikTok must be sold or shut down if significant progress on the deal is not made by the original deadline. The move aims to provide more time for negotiations and regulatory reviews concerning national security concerns related to the popular social media app.
