Trump giving TikTok another 75 days to find a U.S. buyer
President Trump is giving his administration more time to broker a deal for TikTok. Congress had mandated that the popular social media platform be divested from China back in January or banned in the U-S on national security grounds. But Donald Trump extended the deadline to this weekend in a bid to keep it running. On Friday, the president announced he’s going to let TikTok operate in the U-S for another 75 days while a deal is ironed out. He said he looks “forward to working with TikTok and China to close the deal.”
