Trump considers extending TikTok divestment deadline
Donald Trump has suggested he could push back the June 19 deadline for ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell its US business.
He told reporters that TikTok is a key way to connect with younger voters during his 2024 campaign, which is part of why he's open to an extension.
TL;DR
What's the current status?
TikTok's future in the US is up in the air—again. This isn't Trump's first delay on a ban; he's postponed it before.
The official ban date is set for January 2025 due to national security worries, but talks between ByteDance and US officials are still stuck because of pushback from China and ongoing trade tensions.
For millions of young Americans who use TikTok daily, what happens next could really shape their online experience.
