US President Donald Trump has extended the TikTok ban for the fourth time through an executive order.
Trump earlier said a framework deal with China could keep TikTok in the US, with firms like Microsoft and Amazon showing interest in a takeover. A final deal may take 30–45 days and needs China’s approval.
The US fears ByteDance could share user data with Beijing, posing a national security risk. ByteDance denies these claims, saying no evidence has been provided.
