TikTok, one of the most popular social media platforms in the United States, has a little more than three months to reach a deal divesting it of Chinese ownership before it goes dark. The app boasts roughly 170 million monthly active users across the country but faces extinction by May if it fails to sell

President Donald Trump has directed his Justice Department to pause enforcement of the TikTok ban until early April, but a host of questions remain - including whether Trump has the authority to issue such an order and if TikTok’s China-based parent would be amenable to selling the popular social media platform.

Measure directs Justice Department to not enforce the law for 75 days while administration determines “the appropriate course forward.”

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order Monday to keep TikTok operating for 75 days, a relief to the social media platform’s users even as national security questions persist.

TikTok could still not be downloaded from the Apple and Google app stores in the U.S, even after President Trump's executive order.

President Trump has signed a flurry of new executive orders ushering in big changes for the U.S. Military. There's also been progress in finding a new buyer for TikTok.
