US President Donald Trump was reported to be planning to sign an executive order later this week that would extend the deadline for TikTok’s Chinese owner to divest the popular video-sharing app, as announced by the White House. Previously, Trump had signed an order in early April to keep TikTok operational for an additional 75 days after a potential sale to American owners was put on hold. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that, as Trump had expressed numerous times, he did not want TikTok to cease operations. She mentioned that this new extension would last for 90 days, during which the Administration would work to finalize a deal, ensuring that American users could continue utilising TikTok with the assurance that their data remained safe and secure.
