President Donald Trump will sign executive order this week again extending the deadline for TikTok’s parent company to divest from the video-sharing app. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the news Tuesday, according to The Hill. The expected order would mark the third extension since Trump took office in January. “This extension will last 90 days, which the administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure,” Leavitt said. Her confirmation of the news came just hours after Trump said he likely would extend the deadline to prevent a ban on TikTok from taking effect in the United States.
