Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline by 75 Days Amid Ongoing U.S.-China Standoff

The new June 19 deadline reflects unresolved negotiations over TikTok's U.S. operations, with algorithm control and Chinese approval remaining key obstacles.

• Donald Trump has extended the deadline for ByteDance to sell TikTok's U.S. operations to June 19, 2025, citing the need for further negotiations.
• The extension comes as negotiations over a potential sale or spin-off of TikTok continue, with no approval yet from ByteDance or the Chinese government.
• China's opposition to the sale has intensified following new U.S. tariffs, which have escalated trade tensions between the two nations.
• Control of TikTok's algorithm, central to its popularity, remains a contentious issue, with Congress seeking to end Chinese oversight of the technology.
• A spin-off into a new entity with non-Chinese majority ownership is the most likely outcome, but discussions remain unresolved on key terms.
