President Trump is planning to give TikTok another lifeline.
With a mid-June deadline approaching and trade talks with China in limbo, Trump is expected to sign an executive order staving off enforcement of a law banning or forcing the sale of the app, according to people familiar with his plan.
It would be the third extension since Trump took office in January. The current one expires June 19.
The White House had been facilitating a deal for investors to take ownership of an American-operated TikTok, but it got tangled in Trump’s imposition of heavy tariffs on Chinese imports in early April.
That same framework is on the table, but until tensions with Beijing are settled, a deal isn’t likely to proceed, administration officials said.
The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment. The New York Post earlier reported that Trump was likely to extend the deadline.
Trump on April 4 signed an executive order granting a 75-day extension allowing TikTok to operate in the U.S., having already directed the Justice Department not to enforce the 2024 law passed with bipartisan support over national security concerns.

Uh-murricant tiktok? Trans psy-op, brain wasting, negro worshipping brain rot literally making people stupid, as well as a massive data farming.
If he doesn't ban this, it is proof he has no clue about the basic workings of the internet, either.
At some point Congress needs to step up their authority on this. The tik tok ban law merely granted a President a one time extension of 75 days.
Tik tok doesn’t mean what it used to.
Time keeps tiktoking on...
He shouldn't ban it. Twitter/X and TikTok are the only big free speech social media apps out there.
They spread much crap. They're not 100% free speech. But much freer than the rest.
If Tik Tok comes under "American" (i.e., Big Tech oligarchs) ownership, it will be far more heavily censored.
No it won’t!
Agreed. Unless Elon Musk happens to own TikTok.
So you want Trump to lose the youth vote? Go right ahead, and don’t forget Trump’s largest voting block in 2024 was 18-25 year olds
What does Trump have against clocks?
TikTok is primarily young people dancing, opining, dog videos, cat videos, hair makeovers, diet makeovers, cooking demonstrations,medical advice, short stories, redoing rundown homes, mowing uncut grass, and effective commentators like Chalie Kirk and Benny Johnson...
More entertaining than Cablevision and Netflix. And it reflects the culture of young people.
Plus, several young people make a nice living on it from likes, sponsorss, and views.
I sense a pattern
getting old. sorry, but this crap needs to end. Laws need to be enforced.
See post #12
Announced DEADLINES, NOT ENFORCED… soon LOSE ALL CREDIBILITY. Just sayin’.
Tik Tok!!!
How does Sean Hannity figure in this?
This is a HUGE mistake. TikTok continues to poison our children with violent antisemetic and antiamerican rhetoric. It needs to be shut down immediately until the chicoms sell.
Trump is not running again. And he has already demonstrated he doesn’t care about anyone else running (and possibly the fate of the country, unfortunately) because he has NOT DONE A SINGLE THING TO REVERSE THE FRAUD THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL IN 2024 NOR WILL HE DO A THING ABOUT 2026 OR 2028.

Like our education system and the Democrat party?
