00:00President Trump has issued a third 90-day executive extension for TikTok,
00:05pushing the deadline for ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations from mid-June until mid-September.
00:11The move allows TikTok to remain available in the U.S. while officials pursue a sale deal
00:16and seek assurances about data security.
00:19This even as legal and legislative experts question the authority for consecutive extensions.
00:24Negotiations, like a near agreement with an Oracle-led group,
00:28have fallen due to escalating U.S.-China trade tensions
00:31and concerns that Beijing can block any transfer of TikTok's core algorithm.
