It is the third time Trump has extended the deadline. The first one was through an executive order on Jan. 20, his first day in office, after the platform went dark briefly when a national ban took effect.

A recent Pew Research Center survey found that about one-third of Americans said they supported a TikTok ban, down from 50% in March 2023. Roughly one-third said they would oppose a ban, and a similar percentage said they weren’t sure.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday granting TikTok a 90-day extension to continue operating in the United States, further postponing the potential national ban unless a deal is reached to sell the platform.
