Order gives the Chinese-owned social media app, which has 170 million users in the US, until September to find a buyer
Donald Trump has signed an executive order to delay the ban or sale of TikTok for the third time. The order gives the Chinese-owned social media company another 90 days to find a buyer or be banned in the US.
“I’ve just signed the Executive Order extending the Deadline for the TikTok closing for 90 days (September 17, 2025),” the president said in a Truth Social post.
Trump’s first executive order giving TikTok a reprieve came on his first day in office – just three days after the supreme court ruled to uphold the ban. Trump issued the second executive order in April. The deadline for the sale or ban was then set for 19 June. Now, TikTok has until September.
Mark Warner, a Democratic senator and the vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, accused Trump of sidestepping the law with an executive order.
