President Donald Trump will once again give Tiktok a temporary probation as it faces another deadline or faces a ban in the United States. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that Trump will sign another executive order to extend the deadline.

In April, several reports indicated that a deal could involve the company’s existing U.S. investors incorporating its equity into a new entity. Trump’s talk on tariffs on Chinese imports.
