Trump suggests he’ll extend deadline for TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell app
President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he would likely extend a deadline for TikTok’s Chinese owner to divest the popular video sharing app.
Trump had signed an order in early April to keep TikTok running for another 75 days after a potential deal to sell the app to American owners was put on ice.
“Probably yeah, yeah,” he responded when asked by reporters on Air Force One whether the deadline would be extended again.
“Probably have to get China approval but I think we’ll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it.”
He indicated in an interview last month with NBC that he would be open to pushing back the deadline again. If it happens, it would be third time that the deadline has been extended.
