Donald Trump: Last News

Donald Trump has announced he is going to allow TikTok an extra 75 days to comply with US demands or face a complete ban.A law was passed in April 2024 by former President Biden that mandates ByteDance, the Chinese owners of the social media giant, to sell TikTok, citing national security concerns about foreign control of sensitive data.An original deadline was set for January 19, on the eve of Trump’s second inauguration, but the new president then opted to sign an extension of 75 days, pushing the cutoff to April 5.Now, Trump has announced a further 75 days have been added to the deadline, allowing TikTok’s 170million American users to retain access to the app until the middle of June.In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “My Administration has been working very hard on a Deal to SAVE TIKTOK, and we have made tremendous progress. The Deal requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed, which is why I am signing an Executive Order to keep TikTok up and running for an additional 75 days.”Trump linked his stance with the Chinese firm to his recent imposition of tariffs to countries around the world.

GB News viewers had their broadcast interrupted by a breaking news update that left its presenters livid.

There are moments in Good Night, and Good Luck, the new play by George Clooney and Grant Heslov opening on Broadway tonight at the Winter Garden Theatre and starring Clooney as pioneering TV journalist Edward R. Murrow, when the anti-authoritarian passions of all three men are made very clear. Anti-McCarthyism in Murrow’s case, anti-Trumpism for Clooney and, one presumes, Heslow. Unfortunately, more often than not, that clarity comes through speechifying, minor-key tirades and copious use of ’50s-era TV clips that make plain the all-too-obvious parallels between then and now.
