President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday to keep TikTok operating for 75 days, a relief to the social media platform’s users even as national security questions persist.

The law cited national security concerns and ordered ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell its U.S. operations unless it found an approved buyer.
