Trump gives Tijk to extend another ban

to The third timePresident Donald Trump will extend the deadline of Tikhak to get out of his Chinese mother company or face an American ban. White House press secretary Caroline Levit confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that Trump will sign an executive order this week, the deadline extends to 90 days, as the new deadline fell in mid -September.

Levitte said that the Trump administration will spend the next ninety days “working to ensure the closure of this deal so that the American people can continue to use Tiktok while emphasizing that their data is safe and safe.”

The extension, which was first signed on January 20, provides legal coverage for American service providers in Tiktok who are undergoing Protection of Americans from the Applications Law subject to foreign opponent from Hundreds of billions in penalties They can face the preservation of the application online and in American application stores. But this legal cover was already defeated, given that Trump’s extensions were not blocked in the law, which was issued by an overwhelming majority through a two -party vote in Congress, and the Supreme Court calls it.

like freedom Previously reported, Adtedance and a coalition led by Oracle He almost came out a deal In April, Trump’s tariff suddenly detonated the initial agreement. While trade tensions between the United States and China collapsed, there was no recent news about the revival of that deal or another. Even when the sale looked likely, it was not clear whether China would allow the sale of value algorithm that operates Tiktok video recommendations.

Many legislators, including those who have criticized the law for Tiktok and Bytedance, have warned that Trump’s repeated extensions cannot be defended and unlawful. After the last Trump extension in April, the Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner (D-VA) He said freedom The move was “against the law” and said, “The whole matter is a trick if the algorithm did not move from Beijing’s hands.”

Even before the second extension, Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Cory Boker (D-NJ), who oppose the ban of Tiktok, Trump books It will be “unacceptable and unprecedable to manage you to continue to ignore the requirements of the law.” And they warned, “Any other extensions will require the deadline of Tiktok Oracle, Apple, Google and other companies to continue to risk the destructive legal responsibility, and a difficult decision to justify forever.”

This is because TIKTOK service providers can be fined in the United States to facilitate access to the application after the final date of the ban, and Trump’s extensions fall outside the permitted mechanisms in the law. However, these companies seem to rely on the assurances of the administration that they will not be prosecuted to keep Tiktok online, although they are According to what was reported, I took a message from the American Prosecutor To calm Apple and Google concerns.

The court can evaluate whether Trump’s actions are legal, but only if someone prosecutes to stop this extension – and until now, no one has been. Earlier this month, though, Google’s shareholder filed a lawsuit Against the company because of its failure to share internal records about its decision to abandon the law under the assurances of the Ministry of Justice. The same shareholder has already filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Justice because of its failure to share information about its decision not to impose law against Apple and Google.

While Trump’s members in general did not go further to summon his illegal attachments, a Dozens of Republicans in the House of Representatives He said in a statement in April that “any decision should ensure a US law, and that the Chinese Communist Party cannot access American user data or the ability to process the content that Americans consume,” he said in April. Senator Josh Holie (R-MO) told reporters in that month that Trump “must be implemented and the TIKTOK ban. In this medium method, I don’t think it is viable.”

But it is not clear what will prevent Trump from agreeing to unlimited extensions or a deal that does not fulfill the letter of law. Holi also admitted, while talking to the correspondents in April, “Congress, we have no enforcement arm.”
