TikTok has just weeks to find a U.S.-based owner before a nationwide ban takes effect—unless the president tries to extend the ban again.

Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence Friday that a deal to sell TikTok and keep the social media app running in the U.S. would largely be in place by an April deadline.

Questions about the future of the popular video sharing app have continued to linger since a law requiring its China-based parent company to divest or face a ban took effect on Jan. 19. After taking office, President Donald Trump gave TikTok a 75-day reprieve by signing an executive order that delayed enforcement of the statute until April 5.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance expects the general terms of an agreement to resolve the ownership of social media platform TikTok in time for an April 5 deadline, according to two White House officials.

President Trump also indicated last week that an extension of the deadline is still possible, stating, “We have a lot of interest in TikTok... hopefully, China will approve of the deal.”
