US President Donald Trump hints at extending TikTok divestment deadline for ByteDance
US President Donald Trump has signalled that he may grant China-based tech firm ByteDance additional time to divest its American operations of the popular short-form video platform, TikTok, reported Reuters.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump reiterated his intention to potentially delay the current divestment deadline, originally set for 19 June. The remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny over TikTok’s ownership and its influence on US users, particularly younger demographics.
