Trump makes decision for TikTok

“I've just signed an executive order extending the deadline for the sale of TikTok for ninety days (September 17th, two thousand twenty-fiveth)”, Trump wrote on the Social Truth.

Trump has already twice postponed Congress's decision to stop TikTok, which had to go into effect in January, claiming that the Chinese government was using the social network to spy on Americans. The bill was signed by then-President Joe Biden.

Trump said in May that he would extend the June nineteenth deadline, as the app helped him with the new voters in the two thousand-year elections.

The law required that TickTok cease operations until January nineteenth, unless ByteDance completes the sale of the American app or shows considerable progress towards sale.

Trump, first extended the deadline until early April and later last month until June nineteenth.

Democratic Senators argue Trump does not have the legal authority to extend the deadline and say a sales agreement would not meet legal requirements. /Periscope/
