"We aren't going anywhere."

"The Supreme Court is unlikely to strike down the law."

"[W]e have no intention to ban TikTok."

“This legislation is a clear violation of the first amendment rights of the 170 million Americans on TikTok.”

"TikTok might still subsist in some form in the U.S. market."

"Half of Americans think it’s very or somewhat unlikely that TikTok will be banned in the U.S."

A vote for Trump will "save Tik Tok in America"

"So bottom line, it looks like this court [SCOTUS] is ready to rule against TikTok."

"My prediction, from listening to Supreme Court oral arguments, is that a majority of the court, at least, will uphold the law."

"[T]he court is most likely to nonetheless allow that regulation [banning TikTok]."

"China's nominal gross domestic product is unlikely to surpass that of the U.S. in the next few decades."

"This idea of China becoming the world's biggest economy may not happen, actually."

"China probably won't ever overtake the US economy on a sustained basis."

"The likelihood of the prediction that China's GDP will one day overtake that of the U.S. is declining."

"If China grows by a more moderate 4% over the long term, its GDP will exceed that of the US eight years later, in 2046."

"China is forecast to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy by around 2035."

"China will overtake the US as the world's top economy in about 2035 with a high probability."

"[T]he size of China's economy in USD terms will overtake the US in 2028."

"China will overtake the United States to become the world's biggest economy in 2028."

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order this week extending the TikTok divestiture deadline by another 90 days, the third extension since taking office in January, as the White House continues negotiations for a deal to sell the app's U.S. operations.

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order this week extending the TikTok divestiture deadline by another 90 days, the third extension since taking office in January, as the White House continues negotiations for a deal to sell the app's U.S. operations.

The extension comes as a previously finalized TikTok deal collapsed in April when China withdrew its approval after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese imports. Beijing called on ByteDance to pause negotiations until trade talks concluded.

"This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure," Leavitt said in a statement.

This comes after Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday he would likely extend a deadline for ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of short video app TikTok, "Probably have to get China approval, but I think we'll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it."

Potential buyers for TikTok's U.S. operations include Oracle Corporation, Blackstone, and Andreessen Horowitz, with a proposed deal structure that would give new investors 50% ownership while reducing ByteDance's stake to below 20% in order to meet U.S. security requirements.

These repeated extensions undermine congressional authority and national security by allowing a Chinese-controlled app to continue operating despite bipartisan concerns. The law was clear about divestiture requirements, yet Trump keeps moving goalposts while China manipulates negotiations. This sets a dangerous precedent for foreign influence operations.

Trump's pragmatic approach to TikTok shows smart dealmaking that prioritizes American interests while avoiding unnecessary disruption. The extensions give time to secure a proper sale that protects user data without destroying a platform that 170 million Americans enjoy. China's interference with the deal after tariff announcements proves Trump's tough trade stance is working.
