Get ready for some sizzling action in the tech-politics arena! President Donald Trump is set to sign a big executive order this Thursday. This order will officially say that the deal to sell TikTok's U.S. operations passes the tough rules of a new 2024 law. This law, passed by Congress, demands that TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, must completely give up control if the app wants to keep running in the U.S. Earlier this week, the White House told everyone that Trump will make it clear this deal is all good under the new law. Why is this important? TikTok is not just any app — it boasts a whopping 170 million users in the U.S.! Trump himself has been quite fond of TikTok, giving it credit for helping him win re-election last year. Not to forget, he has a massive 15 million followers on his TikTok account. The White House has jumped into the game too, by launching its very own TikTok account last month. But hold on! The story doesn’t stop there. Trump has been buying time by delaying the law’s enforcement until mid-December. Why? To make sure TikTok’s U.S. assets get snatched up properly by American investors, turning the app away from Chinese control fully. And guess what? This executive order might push the deadline even further, keeping the TikTok train rolling in America a bit longer. It’s a thrilling mix of politics, business, and technology that’s bound to keep eyes glued in the weeks ahead!
