Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for TikTok\u2019s sale in the US for a further 90 days.<\/p>\n

The video-sharing app has faced questions over its future after the US passed a law last year requiring the app to be banned unless sold by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers said it posed a risk to national security \u2013 something TikTok denies.<\/p>\n

Trump, who vowed to save TikTok during his presidential campaign, signed an executive order on Thursday which has delayed the date for enforcing the law for a third time.<\/p>\n

In a statement, TikTok said it was \u201cgrateful for President Trump\u2019s leadership and support\u201d in keeping the app online for its 170m US users.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to work with Vice President Vance\u2019s Office,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

A deal for the sale of TikTok in the US by ByteDance must now be reached by 17 September, Trump said in a post on his platform Truth Social.<\/p>\n

The further delay was an expected development in the long-running process of securing a buyer for TikTok.<\/p>\n

It is thought the authorities in Beijing will need to approve any sale or part sale of the app by its parent company.<\/p>\n

The law was prompted by fears in the US that TikTok or ByteDance could be forced to hand over data on US users by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

Trump said on Tuesday he expected there would be a further delay.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday that a further 90-day extension would \u201censure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Flouting\u2019 the law<\/b><\/p>\n

Trump tried to force a sale of TikTok to an American buyer in 2020, during his first term in office.<\/p>\n

But last year, he signalled he\u2019d had a change of heart, saying the platform had helped him win the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok, because I won youth by 34 points,\u201d Trump said in December, although most young voters backed the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

The law was supposed to take effect on 19 January, a day before Trump\u2019s inauguration to a second term in office.<\/p>\n

TikTok challenged its constitutionality in the courts. The Supreme Court upheld the law days before it was due to take effect.<\/p>\n

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner, a Democrat, criticized Trump\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, the Trump administration is flouting the law and ignoring its own national security findings about the risks posed by a PRC-controlled TikTok,\u201d Warner said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn executive order can\u2019t sidestep the law, but that\u2019s exactly what the president is trying to do,\u201d Warner added.<\/p>\n
