According to a report by Axios News Network, on June 17 local time, the White House said that US President Trump will extend the deadline for the TikTok ban for the third time.
In a statement on the same day, White House press secretary Leavitt said that Trump would sign an additional executive order this week to extend the deadline for the TikTok ban by 90 days. During the extension period, the US government will strive to "ensure a deal is reached so that the American people can continue to use TikTok and ensure their data remains safe."
She added: "As Trump has repeatedly stated, he does not want TikTok to disappear."

In April 2024, former President Biden signed a bill passed by both houses of Congress, requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese company within 270 days; otherwise, the app will be banned in the United States after January 19, 2025.
Since Trump took office as President of the United States in January this year, he has extended the TikTok deadline twice, for 75 days each in April and June.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has previously responded multiple times to issues related to TikTok, calling on the US side to provide a fair business environment.

China will handle relevant issues according to Chinese laws and regulations, and the US side should provide an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies operating in the US.
