TikTok’s future in the U.S. remains uncertain, but for now President Donald Trump is keeping the app alive. Despite a congressional ban requiring its Chinese parent, ByteDance, to sell, Trump has extended the deadline three times and signaled he’ll do it again ahead of Sept. 17. He downplayed national security concerns, calling them “highly overrated,” while praising TikTok’s popularity with young people — and even his own campaign. With public opinion divided, the likelihood of an outright ban appears to be fading.
