TikTok was given a lifeline for a third time by President Trump, allowing it to keep running through mid-September in spite of U.S. legislation requiring its Chinese owners to divest its operation.

TikTok now has until September to find a new owner in order to meet the requirements of a divest-or-ban law.

TikTok will continue to live on in the United States until at least mid-September. The TikTok ban still looms over the app's US operation, but The White House has said it will delay the enforcement of the law for another 90 days.
