US President Donald Trump is expected to delay the deadline once more for TikTok to sell its US operations to a non-Chinese buyer, avoiding a potential ban. This would mark the third extension since the order was introduced, originally set to take effect just before his inauguration.Trump has shown support for TikTok, stating he’s open to giving more time and hinting that a buyer group is prepared to pay ByteDance a substantial sum. While the sale remains stalled, analysts suggest Trump is in no rush to enforce the ban—especially since TikTok may have helped him gain favor with younger voters.The ban, driven by national security concerns and US-China tech tensions, was enacted on January 19. However, ByteDance has yet to secure a buyer. Trump previously blamed stalled talks on the broader tariff dispute with China.ByteDance has acknowledged ongoing negotiations with the US government, and possible outcomes include restructuring TikTok into an independent global company with backing from US investors like Oracle and Blackstone.Despite the uncertainty, TikTok is continuing to grow its business. This week, it launched “Symphony,” a new suite of AI tools to help advertisers easily create videos using text and images As experts note, TikTok's real value lies in its algorithm, which may not be included in any deal. Without it, some say the platform’s effectiveness would be significantly reduced.
