President Trump on Friday announced that he again would delay the ban on TikTok, scheduled for tomorrow, despite not having made a deal with the app's Chinese owner, ByteDance.

Why it matters: TikTok is used by millions of Americans, for both entertainment and livelihoods.

The big picture: Trump successfully brushed off a law passed by Congress, which had required the ban to take effect months earlier, despite bipartisan consensus about national security risks caused by the app's ties to China.
