Trump reportedly plans to extend the pause on the TikTok ban yet again


President Donald Trump reportedly plans to extend the pause on the TikTok ban again to give the company and buyers more time to come up with a deal.

Trump previously extended the pause on April 4 to give TikTok, its potential US buyers and the Chinese government more time to reach an agreement, but the deal has made little progress since then. The two countries are expected to restart trade negotiations at some point in the near-future, according to The New York Times, but there's been no public mention of a TikTok sale being a key part of the discussion. A number of investors are still looking to own a piece of the US version of the app, including the software company Oracle, which has a pre-existing relationship with TikTok as a cloud provider.
