Trump extends deadline to keep TikTok running in US


US President Donald Trump has extended the deadline to comply with a law that requires TikTok’s parent company “ByteDance” to sell the popular video app to an American buyer.

The 75-day extension comes as the administration finalises a plan to keep the popular app running in the US.

The social media platform, which is used by 170 million in the US, initially went dark for several hours before Trump took office as the app prepared to shutter in the US due to a law passed by Congress.

“The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed,” Trump posted on social media platform Truth Social on Friday.
