Trump wants the deadline to be delayed so that his administration can “pursue a negotiated resolution” with TikTok. He becomes president again on January 20, 2025.

Trump hopes to negotiate a resolution focused on “preserving the First Amendment rights of tens of millions of Americans, while also addressing the government’s national security concerns.”
