Tiktok will live for at least three months in the United States because he is ready to extend the sale or ban deadline for the third time since President Donald Trump took office this year.
“Trump will sign an additional administrative order to keep Teak Talk this week,” said Karoline Leavitt’s White House reporter.
Popular video sharing apps had to be banned in the United States after refusing to sell to US buyers by the Chinese owner, Bytedance.
Tiktok and BYTEDANCE did not immediately respond to the BBC’s request.
Leavitt said, “We will close this transaction so that American people can continue to use Tiktok with the guarantee that data is safe and safe.
Before Leavitt’s announcement, Trump told the BBC that he would probably “expand” tiktok.
Trump said, “We probably must be approved by China.” I think we will get it. I think President XI will ultimately approve it. “
When asked if there is a legal basis for the deadline, he said, “We do so.”
Trump’s extension is conflicted with the will of Congress who passed the sale or opposition measures last year. His predecessor, Joe Biden, immediately signed the bill.
This law is intended to solve the concern that Tiktok, which has 170 million US users, can be used as a tool for spy and political manipulation in China.
The Supreme Court agreed to the lower court and supported the law just before Trump took office in January.
This platform has been dark for several hours for several hours before Trump’s inauguration.
Tiktok praised Trump that saved the platform after the platform was provided.
Trump tried to forcibly sell Tiktok to US buyers during his first term in 2020.
Last year, however, Trump said he liked the platform because he believed that he helped win the 2024 presidential election.
Trump sponsored the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in December, but in December, “Tiktok has a warm place.”
Trump’s unilateral deadline has made some analysts dismiss the concept that the ban can be made in the office for their time.
“What prohibition?”
“Tiktok’s actions also indicate that they are confident in the future by launching a new AI video tool in Cannes this week.”
“Small players like SNAP are trying to steal this” uncertain time “, but Tiktok’s next round will not be successful because it is not uncertain at all,” Chickering added.
The Trump administration said in April that the US and China were close to a large -scale control of Tiktok’s operations under US ownership. The deal has not been realized yet.
BYTEDANCE spokesman said, “There is a major problem to be solved.” “All contracts will be approved according to Chinese law.”
Trump said he could see it sold to Oracle, a cloud computing company.
Alexis Ohanian, co -founder of the billionaire Frank McCourt, Canadian entrepreneurs Kevin O’Leary and Reddit, is a member of other team bidding for the platform.
And the world’s largest Youtuber (Jimmy Donaldson) (aka MRBAST) said he is interested in buying Tiktok as part of another investor group.
