No more extensions for TikTok: Trump govt issues ultimatum for China, Lutnick says ‘America will control…’
TikTok may soon ‘go dark’ in the US after multiple extensions and repeated efforts to stitch together a divestment deal. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the popular video-sharing platform would have to halt operations in the country if China did not approve a deal for the sale of its US arm. President Donald Trump had extended the deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok for a third time last month — to September 17.
