President Donald Trump has already delayed a TikTok ban twice, and he said Sunday that he\u2019s willing to do it again.<\/p>\n
Axios reports<\/a> that during an interview with NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d Trump said that if a deal isn\u2019t made to sell TikTok\u2019s U.S. operations to American owners before the current June 19 deadline, he would grant the company another extension.<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps I shouldn\u2019t say this, but I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Congress passed a law last year banning TikTok if its parent company ByteDance did not sell the short-form video app, and TikTok briefly disappeared when the ban took effect in January<\/a>. Trump then declared that he would delay the ban for 90 days<\/a> and suggested that he\u2019d like to see a joint venture with U.S. ownership.<\/p>\n When the next deadline rolled around in April, Trump gave the company another 75-day extension, noting that the Chinese government<\/a> (which must approve the deal) was \u201cnot very happy about our Reciprocal Tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
