In a significant move, President Donald Trump has announced a 75-day extension for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to comply with a mandated sale of the popular social media app to an American buyer. The extension allows for more discussion and planning as the administration works on a strategy to keep TikTok operational in the United States, where it boasts a user base of approximately 170 million. Previously, the platform had gone dark for several hours due to legal requirements, but this extension aims to ensure that all necessary approvals are obtained before any final decisions are made. "The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed," Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, highlighting the importance of thorough negotiations.
