TikTok has received another temporary reprieve from a potential ban in the United States. Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the deadline for enforcement by an additional 90 days.
The extension was confirmed in an official press release from the White House, which stated: “The enforcement delay specified in section 2(a) of Executive Order 14166 of January 20, 2025, is further extended until September 17, 2025.”
This means the short-form video app — owned by Chinese tech company ByteDance — has until mid-September to resolve ongoing national security concerns raised by US officials. The government’s primary worry is the possibility of user data being accessed by the Chinese state, a claim TikTok has consistently denied.
The latest delay gives TikTok more time to complete a potential restructuring, sale, or technological separation of its US operations to meet federal requirements. It also gives ByteDance a chance to challenge the executive order in court, a route the company has previously pursued.
For now, TikTok continues to operate as usual in the US, but uncertainty remains over its long-term future in the American market. The 90-day extension could represent a final window for the company to make the necessary changes or negotiate a resolution.
More updates are expected as the new September deadline approaches.
