The BBC has contacted the White House and TikTok for comment.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump said, “We may let [TikTok] die. Or we may\u2026 I don’t know. It depends. Up to China, it doesn’t matter too much.”<\/p>\n

It came as expectations grow that the deadline, which is due to expire on Wednesday, will be extended for a fourth time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month, Trump suggested that he would keep extending the deadline until a buyer for TikTok could be found and called national security and privacy concerns related to the app and its Chinese parent company ByteDance “highly overrated”.<\/p>\n

Trump was highly critical of TikTok during his first term in the White House but softened his position after he gained popularity on the app during the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

In August, The White House launched its official TikTok account.<\/p>\n

The app is one of the world’s most widely-used social media platforms, with around 170 million users in the US.<\/p>\n

During this week’s talks, officials are also expected to lay the groundwork for a potential meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping as soon as October, when they are scheduled to attend a summit in South Korea.<\/p>\n

The tariffs truce between China and the US cut import taxes that had reached more than 100%<\/a> on each other’s goods. <\/p>\n

The extension gave them more time for negotiations about “unfair trade practices” and to address national security issues, the White House said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The BBC has contacted the White House and TikTok for comment.
