Overview
President Trump has signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of a TikTok ban for 75 days while the Justice Department assesses national security concerns. The temporary suspension follows TikTok's brief shutdown due to a federal law requiring its parent company, ByteDance, to sell U.S. assets. Despite Trump's reassurances, legal experts question whether his executive authority can override Congressional legislation. Negotiations for a possible joint venture or sale of TikTok's U.S. operations are underway, with China signaling a willingness to cooperate, while concerns over data privacy and the app's operations remain unresolved.
