Trump’s TikTok Tango: The App’s Back, But Can It Keep Dancing?
TikTok is back in the U.S. after Trump extended the deadline for finding a U.S. buyer. Despite the Supreme Court’s ban, TikTok thanked Trump for his help. The app is active for existing users but still missing in app stores. TikTok must still secure a buyer to avoid another ban.
Hot Take:
Looks like TikTok is playing a game of “musical chairs” with Uncle Sam—dancing its way back into the U.S. just in time for an extended deadline. Trump’s like the DJ who just can’t decide on the last song of the night! But seriously, who knew diplomacy could be as unpredictable as TikTok trends?
Key Points:
- Trump extends TikTok’s deadline to find a U.S. purchaser by 90 days.
- TikTok resumes service in the U.S. after a brief shutdown.
- App remains unavailable for new installations on app stores.
- Trump hints at U.S. government taking a 50% ownership stake.
- Executive order to be signed to formalize the deadline extension.
