Donald Trump has formally extended the deadline to keep TikTok available in the United States. According to the details, the social media app can now be accessed across the US until December 16, after a deal between American and Chinese government officials was announced on Monday.
Trump signed the executive order on TikTok on Tuesday, and this was the fourth time he bypassed federal law to prolong the deadline for the China-associated TikTok to sell its assets to an American company or face a ban.
The original deadline set by Congress was January 19 of this year, a day before Trump took the oath of office for his second term.
