President Trump awarded Tiktoku further retribution on Friday by announcing that he would extend the deadline when popular applications had to conclude an agreement to be separated from the Chinese owner, Fatted or to face a ban in the United States.
Tiktok, who faced a Saturday term for the agreement, now has another 75 days to find a new owner who will observe the federal law that requires to change his structure to solve national security. This gives a new term for the agreement in mid -June.
This year’s delay was on Tiktoku in second place President Trump. For the first time, the enforcement of the law stopped in January, even after the Supreme Court was unanimously observed.
“The agreement requires more work to ensure that all the necessary approval are signed,” Mr. Trump wrote on Friday in the contribution of Truth Social and added that “we do not want the tiktok” darken. “” He added that he was looking forward to “cooperation with Tiktok and China” to conclude the agreement.
Mr. Trump’s latest action signals the unsolvable nature of the dilemma with Tiktok, who in the United States tolerated years of control over his Chinese ties. Although lawmakers and US officials have repeatedly raised questions about whether Tiktok was safe, the application consolidated its role as cultural juggernaut, with more than 170 million users in the country to create memes and sharing videos.
The delay also restored questions about the willingness of Mr. Trump to put presidential power before the rule of law. Last year, the Federal Law, aimed at changing the ownership of Tiktoku or to have an application, was handed over last year with a wide bipartisan support and came into force in January. However, Mr. Trump effectively overwhelmed the law when the recovery of this month paused.
Meanwhile, one thing is certain: Tiktok will continue to operate in the United States in the foreseeable future. In January, the application briefly darkened at a time when the Federal law came into effect before flashing back to life.
Tiktok did not immediately return the request for comment.
