President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he would probably extend a deadline for Tiktok Chinese owner to disintegrate the popular video sharing application.
Trump had signed an early order April to keep Tiktok to run for 75 additional days After a potential agreement to sell the application to American owners, it was put on the ice.
“Probably yes, yes,” he replied when asked by the journalists on Air Force One if the deadline would be extended again.
“We must probably get the approval of China, but I think we will get it. I think President Xi will finally approve of it.”
He said in an interview last month with NBC that he would be open to posting the deadline. If it is announced, it would be the third time that Trump has extended the deadline.
The first spent a decree of January 20, his first day in power, after the platform was briefly dark when the prohibition approved by the Congress – and confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States – entered into force.

The second took place in April, when the White House officials thought they were approaching an agreement to shoot Tiktok in a new business with the American property which collapsed after China fell after Trump’s pricing announcement.
It is not clear how many times that Trump can – or will continue to extend the ban while the government continues to try to negotiate an agreement for Tiktok, which belongs to China’s Bytedance.
Trump has raised more than 15 million followers on Tiktok since he joined last year, and he credited the trend platform for helping him gain ground among young voters. He said in January that he had a “warm place for Tiktok”.
