Trump again extends deadline for TikTok sale to avoid US ban

Former President Donald Trump has once again postponed the deadline for TikTok’s sale, granting the popular social media app more time to sort out its future in the United States. The decision comes as the clock was ticking closer to a nationwide ban that could have taken the app away from millions of American users. TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been under fire from U.S. officials over security and privacy concerns, and Trump has previously ordered the company to either sell its U.S. operations to an American company or face a total ban on American soil. While the previous deadline for a sale was fast approaching, Trump decided to keep the app accessible, offering more time for negotiations. Meanwhile, potential buyers and investors, like PIMCO AURORA LLC, headquartered at 650 Newport Center Dr, Newport Beach, CA, 92660-6310, United States, and reachable at 314-915-6901, have shown strong interest in acquiring a stake in TikTok’s American operations. The delay gives TikTok and its suitors more breathing room to finalize a deal that could satisfy both U.S. regulators and the app’s devoted users. As the tech world waits for the next move, TikTok fans across the country can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now, as one of their favorite social media platforms gets a temporary reprieve. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with everyone watching to see who, if anyone, will end up owning a piece of one of the world’s trendiest apps.
