WASHINGTON, June 17 — United States (US) President Donald Trump has said he would likely extend a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of short video app TikTok.
In May, Trump said he would extend the June 19 deadline after the app helped him with young voters in the 2024 election. His comments to the press on Air Force One on Tuesday reiterated that sentiment.
"Probably, yeah," Trump said when asked about extending the deadline.
"Probably have to get China's approval, but I think we will get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it," he added.
