Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Grants 75-Day Extension to TikTok Ban Amid Speculation Over Platform's Future
Caption: Trump Grants 75-Day Extension to TikTok Ban Amid Speculation Over Platform’s Future. President Donald Trump signed an executive order granting TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a law requiring its sale or ban. During the extension period, the US will not enforce the law passed by Congress and signed by former President Joe Biden. Trump floated the idea of a 50-50 partnership between the US and TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, though details remain unclear. The Biden administration had argued TikTok could be used by China for spying and political manipulation, a claim the platform denies. TikTok briefly stopped working in the US after the law took effect but resumed operations following Trump’s commitment to delay enforcement. Despite the extension, TikTok remains unavailable for download on Apple and Google app stores in the US. Trump’s extension puts him at odds with many Republican lawmakers, including Senator Tom Cotton, who warned of legal consequences for companies associated with TikTok. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew attended Trump’s inauguration alongside tech giants Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. High-profile figures like YouTube star MrBeast, Elon Musk, and investor Kevin O’Leary have expressed interest in acquiring TikTok. Trump suggested new trade tariffs on China might hinge on a deal over TikTok’s ownership, signaling potential economic implications.
