Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he says will allay security concerns regarding Chinese influence on social media platform TikTok.

Within the White House, national security concerns appear to have largely evaporated. After the app briefly went dark in January, Trump has repeatedly extended the deadline for TikTok to be sold, allowing it to continue operating as usual despite being deemed a security risk.

Speaking to the press in the Oval Office Thursday, Trump was asked who he blamed for an “uptick” in violence. The reporter cited the Wednesday shooting at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas, where the shooter reportedly left a note saying he hoped to inspire “real terror” in ICE agents.

Pope Leo XIV, history's first American pontiff, has stated he is not a Donald Trump supporter and has no intention of getting involved in US politics.
