In Depth: Despite Trump’s Reprieve, There’s No Clear Path Forward for TikTok

Though TikTok won a reprieve on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, it’s only temporary.

On Jan. 20, the president delayed a federal ban on the short-video app for 75 days. He’s said he wants to find a solution in which the U.S. owns at least half of TikTok. Trump has also warned he could impose further tariffs on China — threatening levies as high as an eye-watering 100% — if Beijing doesn’t approve the deal.
