US president to sign TikTok executive order today: source
- Trump credits TikTok for his re-election last year.
- Platform has 170m users in Untied States alone.
- Biden-era law requires transfer of TikTok’s assets.
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday that declares a deal being negotiated by the White House to sell TikTok’s US operations will meet requirements set out in a 2024 law, a White House source with knowledge of the matter said.
Earlier this week, the White House said Trump will declare that a deal to divest TikTok’s US operations from its Chinese owner ByteDance will meet requirements set out in a law passed by Congress that bans the short video app unless its Chinese owner is ended.
Trump has credited TikTok, which has 170 million US users, with helping him win re-election last year and has 15 million followers on his personal account. The White House also launched an official TikTok account last month.
Trump has delayed enforcement of the law through mid-December amid efforts to extract TikTok’s US assets from the global platform, line up American investors and ensure that the new ownership qualifies as a full divestiture needed under the 2024 law — passed by the Biden administration requiring TikTok’s divestiture over fears that its US user data could be accessed by the Chinese government.
A further extension is expected in the executive order on Thursday (today).
Last week, the US president had said that business leaders Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison and Michael Dell would be involved as US investors in a proposed deal to keep TikTok operating in the country.
Trump had earlier said the US and China have made progress on a deal requiring TikTok’s American assets to be transferred to US owners from China’s ByteDance.

Actress Tori Spelling hospitalized after Southern California crash; authorities investigating cause
Actress Tori Spelling was involved in a two-car crash in southern Riverside County, about 80 miles from Los Angeles, on Thursday evening, her manager has confirmed with CBS LA.
It happened at around 5:45 p.m. local itme near the 28000 block of Rancho California Road in Temecula, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, who confirmed the incident based on reports from other news outlets. They said that deputies arrived and found both cars with collision damage.
Deputies said that all of the occupants of both vehicles were medically evaluated at the scene, but did not report any hospitalizations from the collision.
Spelling’s manager, however, said that she and four of her children were taken to the hospital in three separate ambulances for various injuries sustained in the crash.
“No arrests were made, and the cause of the collision remains under investigation,” Riverside County deputies said.

Along with her extensive acting history, Spelling is also known for her six memoirs, one of which was a New York Times bestseller.
A Los Angeles native, Spelling is the daughter of former Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling and author Candy Spelling.
