Trump Delays TikTok Ban for Fourth Time, Extends Enforcement Grace Period to Dec 16
On September 17, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the enforcement grace period for the TikTok ban for the fourth time, delaying implementation by three months to December 16, according to Golden Ten.
The extension establishes a defined compliance window, temporarily reducing near-term regulatory risk for platform operators and investors and providing time for legal and transactional planning under existing national security review frameworks.
Market participants, corporate counsel and risk managers should monitor official filings and legislative developments ahead of the new deadline; this administrative action adjusts the regulatory timeline without resolving the underlying policy issues driving the original ban.
