Tiktok will continue to function. Trump signed a regulation

US President Donald Trump signed a regulation on Thursday for another 90 days of enforcement of the act on the prohibition of Tiktok to give the company and China an additional time for permission to take it over by the American owner. This is the third such decision of the president.

This is the third decision to suspend the enforcement of the act prohibiting the functioning of Tiktok in the US under Chinese control. The current exemption from the enforcement of law passes on Thursday. Trump gave Tiktok and his Chinese owner Bytedance another 90 days.

Although it is not clear whether the president has the right to give the authorities of the state an order not to enforce the provisions of the Act, so far no one has filed a complaint to the court in this case, and Tiktok functioned without major interference. The goal of the movement is to give more time to prepare the takeover of the application.

The president had previously claimed that in March there was a ready plan to take over Tiktok by a group of American companies, and China was interested in agreement on this matter, but the plan was in ruins after Trump's imposition of an additional goal for China and other countries in April as part of the so -called Liberation Day.

During recent conversations in London, both powers have established a trade agreement that would lead to de -leaning in the trade war between countries. On Wednesday, Trump expressed the belief that China would give their “blessing” for the contract.

Adopted by Congress in April last year The Act – which formally entered into force the day before the inauguration of the second term of Trump – provides for a practical ban on the activity of the application on the American market, as long as it stays under the control of the Chinese owner. The reason was the concerns about China's obtaining American users, espionage or use of applications to manipulate American public opinion. Trump underestimated these fears, saying that he was sympathy for Tiktok because he helped him acquire the voices of young voters.
