Trump Signals Possible Extension of TikTok Sale Deadline

President Trump suggests he may extend the April 5 deadline for TikTok's sale, citing significant interest from potential buyers and hopes for China's cooperation.

TikTok faces an April 5 deadline to divest its U.S. operations from Chinese parent company ByteDance or risk a ban under U.S. law.
President Trump indicated he would 'probably' extend the deadline if necessary, though no extension is currently planned.
The sale has attracted interest from high-profile bidders, including Alexis Ohanian, Kevin O'Leary, and Elon Musk, among others.
Trump emphasized that China's approval would be a key factor in any deal and reiterated the national security concerns driving the divestment requirement.
TikTok briefly went offline in January after missing a prior deadline but was restored following an executive order from Trump granting a 75-day extension.
