Trump confirms further delay to TikTok ban or sale deadline

President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for TikTok's sale in the US for a further 90 days.

The video-sharing app has faced questions over its future after the US passed a law last year requiring the app to be banned unless sold by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.

Lawmakers said it posed a risk to national security - something TikTok denies.

Trump, who vowed to save TikTok during his presidential campaign, signed an executive order on Thursday which has delayed the date for enforcing the law for a third time.

In a statement, TikTok said it was "grateful for President Trump's leadership and support" in keeping the app online for its 170m US users.
