Trump Will Delay Enforcing TikTok Ban for a Third Time, White House Says


Trump will issue a third executive order delaying enforcement of the so-called TikTok ban for 90 days, the White House said.

Under a U.S. law that went into effect Jan. 19, 2025, it is illegal for American companies to host or distribute TikTok in the country as long as it remains controlled by its Chinese owner, ByteDance. The legislation passed last year with overwhelming bipartisan support, on fears that the popular video entertainment app’s ties to China ‘s communist regime make it a national security risk. “This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.”
