President Donald Trump threw a lifeline to TikTok in January, and he did it again in April. Now, a repeat performance is widely expected by Thursday, when his latest extension is due to run out. Trump keeps ordering the Justice Department not to enforce a bipartisan law that was intended to ban TikTok nationwide as of Jan.

"Probably have to get China approval but I think we'll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it," Trump said.

President Trump signals a third extension for TikTok’s US sale deadline, citing confidence in China’s eventual approval.
