Well,Glorious it looks like TikTok is here to stay for U.S. users for another couple of months.
Just the day before a TikTok ban was set to go into effect, the Trump administration once again decided to temporarily delay the U.S. ban for another 75 days. TikTok isn't necessarily saved in the long term, but we'll at least have access to the app in the U.S. through June 19.
"My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress," he wrote in a TruthSocial post. "The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for an additional 75 days."
UPDATE: Apr. 4, 2025, 4:00 p.m.
A new report in the Washington Postindicates a TikTok deal with China was imminent but that Trump's recently-imposed tariffs on the nation scuttled the deal at the last minute.
SEE ALSO: Is TikTok about to get banned in the U.S.?TikTok would have been banned on Saturday, April 5, unless the social media platform complied with U.S. law set by the Supreme Court requiring that TikTok divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. There are multiple U.S.-based people, groups, and companies looking to buy TikTok, but a deal has yet to be made.
"We hope to continue working in Good Faith with China, who I understand are not very happy about our Reciprocal Tariffs (Necessary for Fair and Balanced Trade between China and the U.S.A.!)," he continued in the TruthSocial post. "This proves that Tariffs are the most powerful Economic tool, and very important to our National Security! We do not want TikTok to 'go dark.' We look forward to working with TikTok and China to close the Deal. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Trump was confident he could get a deal before the April 5 deadline, and now he seems confident that the additional 75 days will help him find a solution. Either way, at least you can scroll on your FYP for a few more months.
