Trump confirms further delay to TikTok ban or sale deadline

It's the third time the date has been moved back by Trump since he took office in January.

Trump, who vowed to save TikTok during his presidential campaign, signed an executive order on Thursday which has delayed the date for enforcing the law for a third time. In a statement, TikTok said it was "grateful for President Trump's leadership and support" in keeping the app online for its 170m US users. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday that a further 90-day extension would "ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure."
