It marks the third time Trump has given ByteDance extra time, with previous extensions set to expire first in April and later in June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial requirement called for TikTok\u2019s U.S. operations to be sold or shuttered by January 19, unless a sale was close to completion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The app, which has been instrumental in Trump\u2019s outreach to younger voters during the 2024 election, remains a priority for the administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump has voiced hope that China\u2019s President Xi Jinping will give the green light to a deal that would allow TikTok to continue operating in the U.S., though it\u2019s not clear how prominently this issue has featured in broader trade talks between Washington and Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are grateful for President Trump\u2019s leadership and support in ensuring that TikTok continues to be available,\u201d TikTok stated in a message on its official site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related story: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/trump-administration-tightens-social-media-vetting-for-foreign-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump Administration Tightens Social Media Vetting for Foreign Students<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Focus on a U.S.-Based Solution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TikTok noted it remains engaged with the office of Vice President JD Vance on reaching a resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt commented, \u201cIt\u2019s more time; more time to make a good deal,\u201d adding that administration lawyers and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Department of Justice <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are confident that the extension complies with legal standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier in the week, Leavitt emphasized that \u201cPresident Trump does not want TikTok to go dark,\u201d and explained that the coming months will focus on finalizing a sale that ensures American users\u2019 data is safeguarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, \u201cProbably have to get China approval, but I think we\u2019ll get it.
