Commerce officials said they will not bar additional technical transactions for TikTok until Nov 12, which gives the company additional time to see if ByteDance can reach a deal for its US operations."The basic TikTok will stay intact until Nov 12," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told Fox Business Network.
The bans are in response to a pair of executive orders issued by Trump on Aug 6 that gave the Commerce Department 45 days to determine what transactions to block from the apps he deemed pose a national security threat. That deadline expires on Sunday. WeChat has had an average of 19 million daily active users in the United States, analytics firms Apptopia said in early August. It is popular among Chinese students, expats and some Americans who have personal or business relationships in China.
The order bars data hosting within the United States for WeChat, content delivery services and networks that can increase functionality and internet transit or peering services.
