President Trump has signed an executive order extending TikTok's operational deadline in the U.S. for 75 days to facilitate a potential deal to shift ownership to American investors. This comes after tariffs imposed by Trump triggered delays from China regarding approval of the proposed agreement. Critics, including Sen. Chris Murphy, argue that the extension is a tactic to serve political interests. The extension faces legal scrutiny, as some experts view it as a unilateral non-enforcement of existing laws requiring divestiture.
