U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday, April 6, 2025, that his announcement of global tariffs disrupted a near agreement with China regarding TikTok's operations in the United States. Trump indicated that China altered its stance on the deal due to the tariffs. The application briefly ceased functioning in the U.S. until Trump signed an executive order granting a 75-day extension, which has now been prolonged. Trump has suggested potential tariff relief if Beijing approves the TikTok agreement. He initiated a trade conflict by imposing a minimum 10% tariff on all imports, escalating to 34% for China, which prompted retaliatory measures from China on U.S. goods.
