It is not clear how many times Trump can — or will — keep extending the ban as the government continues to try to negotiate a deal for TikTok

"As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure," Leavitt said in a statement.

The president plans to sign another executive order this week that would give the popular video app more time to change its ownership structure.
