President Donald Trump will likely authorize another extension saving TikTok from a ban set to take effect later this week. The president has often spoken highly of the Chinese-owned popular social media platform due to the wealth of young people on the platform,

The president said in May he would extend the June 19 deadline after the app helped him with young voters in the 2024 election. His comments to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday reiterated that sentiment.

Trump signed an order in April to keep the app running for an additional 75 days after a potential deal to sell it was put on hold.
