Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today (May 5th): "US President Trump said that if the sale of TikTok cannot be reached before the final deadline of June 19th, he will extend the deadline for ByteDance to divest its US assets of TikTok again."

It is not impossible for the extension to last until the end of his term because TikTok is impossible to sell.

In the context of poor economic conditions, cutting off young people's entertainment and money-making tools will only provoke their strong dissatisfaction.
