President Donald Trump has signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of the TikTok ban and divestiture law for 75 days. The order directs the Department of Justice to refrain from enforcing the law banning TikTok during this period and to issue letters to providers stating that there are no violations and no liability for noncompliance. This delay allows time for a potential deal to be reached. Trump indicated that if China does not approve the deal, tariffs could be imposed on China.
