Trump signs order refusing to enforce TikTok ban for 75 days
Briefly

President Trump's executive order on his first day in office directs the Justice Department to refrain from enforcing penalties regarding TikTok's compliance with a law mandating a divestment from its parent company, ByteDance. The order effectively extends the deadline for compliance, providing a 75-day window for the administration to assess its options. This move reverses previous efforts to ban TikTok and complicates legal obligations for companies collaborating with the platform amidst ongoing scrutiny and controversy.
Trump's executive order instructs the DOJ not to enforce penalties on companies working with TikTok, seeking a 75-day window for further review.
This strategy aims to postpone action against TikTok by granting necessary time for the administration to navigate compliance with a new bipartisan law.
