Trump to extend TikTok sale deadline for third time, White House says. By David Shepardson. June 18, 2025 9:16 AM UTC Updated June 18, 2025 WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S ...

New York (CNN) — TikTok just got another lifeline from the White House, with President Donald Trump set to delay enforcement of the sale-or-ban law by another 90 days.

Trump has said that the deadline on a TikTok deal could be extended further if needed. He previously proposed terms in which the U.S. would have a 50% stake in a joint venture.

In January, TikTok took itself offline for about 14 hours — and app stores removed access to the platform in the United States — after the law’s initial sale-or-ban deadline passed with no deal.
