TikTok deal gets another extension from President Trump
On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order allowing TikTok a 90-day reprieve to negotiate terms with the U.S. administration regarding security issues related to the app’s connection to China.
Since 2024, TikTok, famous for its popular video-sharing app, has faced considerable stress due to a law that mandates ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, to sell off its U.S. operations of TikTok or risk having the app banned in the United States.

After Congress passed a potential bill, there’s a possibility that TikTok could be banned. Subsequently, we might see other companies stepping up to acquire this popular social media platform.
Trump’s latest decree grants TikTok a reprieve until September 17. During this timeframe, the Justice Department will not apply the 2024 law prohibiting TikTok within the nation or impose fines on businesses facilitating its distribution, according to the order.
As a film enthusiast, I’m thankful for President Trump‘s guidance and backing in keeping TikTok operational for over 170 million American users and 7.5 million U.S. businesses that heavily depend on the platform. We’re collaborating closely with Vice President Vance’s team as we navigate through this process.
In Southern California, particularly in Culver City, TikTok maintains a strong footprint; its American headquarters are based here. Many content creators residing in Los Angeles contribute videos specifically for TikTok.
The app has attracted potential buyers such as Amazon and an investment team led by Frank McCourt, a previous Dodgers owner, who have proposed a bid featuring “Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary. In March, San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company Perplexity expressed their intention to revamp the TikTok algorithm.
