Why Trump Could Punt on TikTok—Again

Deal or no deal? President Trump’s Saturday deadline for TikTok to sell its U.S. assets is fast approaching. 

But Trump has given mixed messages on whether a resolution will be reached by then. On Sunday night, he told reporters on Air Force One that a deal would happen before the deadline. He’s also previously said that he’d be willing to extend the deadline again. Trump will consider a final proposal for TikTok on Wednesday, CBS News reported, though that doesn’t guarantee a deal with TikTok’s Chinese parent ByteDance.
