ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, is facing a looming September 15 deadline to sell its US operations or have them shut down by the Trump administration. On Thursday evening, President Trump told reporters that the deadline wouldn’t be pushed back.
“We’ll either close up TikTok in this country for security reasons, or it’ll be sold,” Trump said just before boarding a flight to Michigan. “I’m not extending deadlines. No. It’s September 15. There will be no extension of the TikTok deadline.”
