President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on September 25, 2025, to confirm a deal selling TikTok’s U.S. operations meets a 2024 law’s rules, a White House source said.
The law requires TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell U.S. assets or face a ban.
White House Support
This week, the White House showed Trump’s support for the sale, keeping TikTok alive for its 170 million U.S. users.
Trump, with 15 million followers, says the app helped his 2024 re-election win. The White House also joined TikTok recently.
Extending the Deadline
Trump delayed the law’s enforcement to mid-December to allow the sale and find U.S. investors. The new order may push this deadline further to ensure a smooth transition from ByteDance.
Why It Matters
The deal keeps TikTok in the U.S. while addressing security concerns about its Chinese ties, fitting Trump’s tech and trade goals.
