President Trump has temporarily halted the nationwide ban on TikTok, giving himself 75 days to determine the platform's future. The original deadline for ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell the app had been Sunday, with a nationwide ban looming if no sale was finalized. Trump's executive order suspends the ban while his administration explores options that balance national security concerns with avoiding a sudden shutdown of the popular app.

Trump on Monday said he is looking to have the U.S. government broker a deal for 50% control of TikTok, adding that “every rich person” has called him about acquiring the social media platform.
Even if an American company can acquire a 50% stake in TikTok, it’s unclear how a Trump-orchestrated transaction would address some of the national security concerns that led lawmakers and the Biden administration to push for a divestment.
