President Trump on Friday granted TikTok another reprieve by announcing he would extend the deadline for when the popular app had to make a deal to be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or face a ban in the United States. TikTok, which had been facing a Saturday deadline for a deal, now has another 75 days to find a new owner to comply with a federal law that requires it to change its structure to resolve national security concerns. That puts the new deadline for a deal in mid-June.

"Congress said that for national security purposes, there has to be an operational severing between China, this new entity and the algorithm," said Jim Secreto, a former counselor for investment security at the Treasury Department, who helped shape the Biden administration's policy on TikTok. TikTok, which spent most of the last year trying and failing to defeat the law in courts, has maintained that it is not for sale, in part because the Chinese government would block a transaction.

A Amazon fez uma oferta nesta quarta, 2, para adquirir a operação do TikTok nos EUA, que tem até sábado, 5, para se separar da ByteDance, seu proprietário chinês. Caso isso não ocorra, o app será proibido de operar no país. No entanto as partes envolvidas nas negociações não estão levando a sério a oferta da companhia fundada por Jeff Bezos. A oferta foi feita por meio de uma carta de oferta endereçada ao vice-presidente JD Vance e a Howard Lutnick, secretário de comércio.
