"As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. 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.

Trump will issue a third executive order delaying enforcement of the so-called TikTok ban for 90 days, the White House said.

President Donald Trump will sign another executive order this week delaying a ban on TikTok's operations on U.S. soil.
