WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump plans to again delay a ban on TikTok, allowing the wildly popular video app to continue operating in the United States for another 90 days.
Trump will sign an executive order for the 90-day extension later this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a June 17 statement.
"As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark," Leavitt said, adding that the administration will continue to work during the 90-day period to secure a deal with TikTok so Americans "can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure."

Trump's action, which was widely expected, will mark the third time since returning to the White House that he's delayed a TikTok sell-or-ban law from going into effect after it was passed by Congress in 2024 and signed by former President Joe Biden.
