Trump is ready to postpone the TikTok ban in the US again

President Donald Trump has said he is willing to once again delay the ban on TikTok in the US, Axios reports.

In an interview with the American television channel NBC, he noted that if an agreement to sell TikTok's American operations is not concluded by June 19, the company will receive another extension.

Congress previously passed a law requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok to American owners or the app would be banned. TikTok had already temporarily disappeared from the US when the ban took effect in January of this year. Trump, upon taking office, postponed it for 90 days and extended it for another 75 days in April, citing trade disputes with China.

The president noted that he has a "warm spot in his heart for TikTok," and this may indicate his desire to appeal to a broad audience of Americans who have massively protested the TikTok ban in the United States.
