President Trump is planning to extend the TikTok deadline, again, um, at least that's according to a report. So what can you tell us about that?
00:09 Speaker B
Yeah, TikTok was supposed to go dark or something was supposed to happen. We don't really know, uh, later this month. The the original deadline was back in April, and that was extended and now the June deadline's coming up. Uh and this is uh, according to the New York Post, they're they're going to extend it again, or President Trump could extend it again. There's been talk back and forth about, you know, deals going on between US companies and trying to maybe tie this up with with a trade deal with China, figure out how to get TikTok to be a US company, or not owned primarily by a Chinese entity. Uh you know, there's been talk about different companies getting in there. Oracle, Walmart was floated around uh for a while. It it really doesn't seem like there's any, you know, outside movement to to the outside world. There it doesn't seem to be any any movement. Uh obviously, these are all negotiations behind closed doors, but I think, you know, it at this point, Trump has shown that he he supports TikTok, he likes TikTok. He's, you know, kind of credits it with helping him win over younger voters. I don't think he's gonna let it go away. It at this point, though, it's just how far can you kick this can down the road before something happens?
