President Donald Trump said he has decided to extend the deadline for Chinese firm ByteDance Ltd. to divest TikTok’s US operations and give his administration more time to finalize a plan to keep the popular app running in the the country.

President Donald Trump on Friday is expected to extend the deadline for TikTok to find a U.S. buyer or face a ban, according to a person familiar with the plans.

President Donald Trump says he's signing an executive order to keep TikTok running in the U.S. for another 75 days to give his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership.
