Republicans on Capitol Hill expressed disappointment on Friday that President Donald Trump one again punted on enforcing a ban on TikTok. This week marked the third deadline extension Trump has granted for TikTok's sale or ban since returning to office.

Under a U.S. law that went into effect Jan. 19, 2025, it is illegal for American companies to host or distribute TikTok in the country as long as it remains controlled by its Chinese owner, ByteDance.

Trump is 'flouting the law' with his third executive order delaying enforcement of the TikTok divest-or-ban law, Democratic Sen. Mark Warren said.
