TikTok’s fate still in limbo as Trump extends deadline to sell its US operations
South China Morning Post - TechWednesday, June 18, 2025 at 1:00:15 PM
TikTok’s future in the U.S. is still up in the air after President Trump extended the deadline for its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell its American operations by another 90 days. The White House framed the move as a way to keep the app running stateside, but analysts say the situation remains messy—especially since tensions between the U.S. and China go far beyond just TikTok.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a viral dance app—it’s a high-stakes standoff over data privacy, national security, and U.S.-China relations. The extension buys time, but with no clear resolution in sight, businesses and creators relying on TikTok are stuck in uncertainty. The outcome could set a precedent for how global tech platforms navigate geopolitical spats.
