Trump has extended TikToki's separation period from China by 90 days

Trump has given him 90 more days to separate TikToki from the Chinese matrix for use in the US. A law under Biden forced him to cut the app with China, considering it an "enemy" of the US. But President Trump has accepted extensions for TikTok to find an American investor.

U.S. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline given to TikTok by another 90 days to break up with the Chinese company ByteDance and be able to continue operating in the United States.

For the time being, the Justice Department will not punish any organization for "breaching" the US Protection Act against Foreign Rival Controlled Applications , which includes China.

That law was passed during Joe Biden's tenure, and TikTok forced him to find a non-Chinese investor. Indeed, the deadline expired on January 20, the day Trump took office. However, the current president has approved extensions to allow more time for implementation.

Trump has previously declared that TikTok is a "weak spot" for him, as it helped him to have a positive image among young people during the election campaign.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt also referred to the issue this week. "As she has said several times (Trump) does not want TikTok to disappear. The extension will last 90 days and the administration will work to close this agreement and allow Americans to continue using TikTok, ensuring that their data are protected," she explained.
