President Donald Trump announced Friday that he will delay enforcement of the TikTok sale-or-ban law for another 75 days. The order was announced as White House officials believed they were nearing a deal for the app’s operations to be spun off into a new company based in the U.S. and owned and operated by a majority of American investors, with China’s ByteDance maintaining a minority position, according to the Associated Press. The announcement came just one day before the ban was set to take effect, after Trump delayed it by 75 days when he took office in January. The law, signed by former President Joe Biden last year, mandates that TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, divest the app or face a ban due to national security concerns.
