President Trump on Friday announced another repetition to Tikokkok that he would expand the deadline when the popular app was to make a deal to face a ban in his Chinese owner, bidence, or the United States.
Tikok, who was facing a Saturday’s deadline for a deal, now has another 75 days to find a new owner to follow a federal law, which needs to change its structure to resolve national security concerns. It puts a new time limit for a deal in mid -June.
The delay was the second of President Trump for Tiktok this year. He first stopped enforcement of law in January, even after the Supreme Court unanimously retained it.
Mr. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Friday, “All necessary approval requires more work, saying that” we do not want Tiktok not to do for ‘Dark Go’. ,
Mr. Trump’s latest action highlighted the unwavering nature of dilemma with Tiktok, which has terminated the years of investigation on its Chinese relations in the United States. Even MPs and American officials repeatedly raised questions whether Tikokok was safe, the app strengthened its role as a cultural juggler, with over 170 million users in the country to use it to make memes and share videos.
The delay also renewed questions about Mr. Trump’s desire to put his President Shakti ahead of the rule of law. The federal law, which was aimed at changing the ownership of Tiktok or banning the app, was passed with widespread bilateral support last year and was effective in January. But Mr. Trump effectively abolished the law when he stopped the enforcement that month.
For now, one thing is certain: Tiktok will continue to work for the future of the future in the United States. In January, the app briefly became dark around the time when the federal law became effective, before it came back into life.
Ticketkok did not immediately return the request for comment.
The delay occurred after stress, the final-minute interaction and a great deal of interest from potential buyers. Vice President JD Vance, which Mr. Trump tapped to help in the supervision of the deal talks, recently said on Thursday that a deal was adjacent. Amazon presented a bid, and private equity giant Blackstone also weighed while taking a stake in Tikok.
In recent weeks, most of the speculation was concentrated around an option, which was reduced by complete sales of the app. Instead, people close to the talks have described a deal in which existing American investors will be rolled at their stake in a new independent global ticket company.
Additional American investors will be brought to reduce the ratio of Chinese investors, he said, because the law does not owe people or corporations in so -called anti -foreign countries for not more than 20 percent of Tiktok or its original company, a list that includes China.
It is not clear whether that kind of system will satisfy the law, or those policy makers carried it forward.
“There is not a ton that the Congress can do,” said Elon Rosaneshtin, former National Security Advisor to the Department of Justice and an associate professor at Minnesota Law School. “If Republican and Democrats care, they can make it a legislative priority and hear it, but my feeling is that they do not have much influence nor too much hunger.”
Concerns about Tikok’s Chinese ownership have been going on for years. Intelligence authorities and MPs have argued that the bidens can hand over sensitive American user data to Beijing, such as location, based on the laws that allow the Chinese government to secretly demand data for intelligence-acted operations from Chinese companies and citizens. He has also claimed that China used Tiktok’s content recommendations to fuel misunderstanding, a concern that increased after the onset of the Israeli-Hamas war and in the United States during the presidential election.
Tikok has long been pushed back to Washington’s concerns and has demanded him to address without sale. It has said that he has never misused data or has not spread the campaign at the behest of Beijing in the United States. But despite a multiculture dollar security effort, the company could not win the trust of Washington, despite the US government to give unique inspections for Tikok’s operation.
Lindsay Gords Gords Gords, a technology consultant under the Biden Administration of Technology Program at the German Marshall Fund, said the Trump administration’s support for the app was a win for China.
He said, “This is the pure victory – that a democratic country that is considered a nation of laws is decreasing to implement it under pressure from a foreign government and its corporate mediators,” he said.
The law prevented technology companies from distributing or updating to Tikok under the threat of severe financial punishment. Apple and Google removed Tiktok from their app store for about a month, until they were assured from the Department of Justice that they would not face fines for taking Tiktok in stores.
MPs have suggested that those companies may face the face -of -share cases in future if they continue to distribute and host Tiktok in the United States under the current administration.
A Massachusetts-based company Akamai Technologies, which helps in giving tickets on phone, recently updated the risk factors in its annual filing, “Even though President Trump has extended the time limit of enforcement for ban on Chinese application, no assurance is that we will not be exposed to liability.”
