President Donald Trump has granted ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, a third 90-day extension to divest its U.S. assets. The new deadline is now set for mid-September 2025.
This decision follows the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA). The act mandates that foreign adversary-controlled applications must be sold or face a ban in the United States.
The extension aims to allow more time for negotiations and ensure the security of American users' data. The administration is working to balance national security with TikTok's continued operation.
