Trump extends TikTok sale deadline 75 more days, sees 'tremendous progress' on deal

President Donald Trump on Friday extended a deadline for TikTok's Chinese owner to sell the app to an American buyer or have the platform shut down in the U.S. 

"My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress. 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," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
