Washington D.C. - The Trump administration is postponing the enforcement of its ban on TikTok, a widely used social media platform, according to sources at CBS News. This delay is being enacted through a new executive order, giving more time for a deal to be finalized regarding the sale of TikTok's U.S. assets.
The potential sale, which would see an American company acquire TikTok's operations in the United States, is still under negotiation. The administration has expressed concerns about the app's data security and potential ties to the Chinese government.
While the delay provides a temporary reprieve for TikTok users in the U.S., the long-term future of the app remains unclear. The administration has stated its commitment to addressing national security concerns related to foreign-owned applications operating within the country. Further updates will be provided as the sale negotiations continue.
