Trump Says He'll ‘Probably' Extend TikTok Sale Deadline This Week
President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested he would 'probably' extend a deadline for ByteDance, TikTok's China-based owners, to divest the social media app before Thursday, marking what would be his third delay after an earlier deal fell through. An order to keep TikTok operational in the U.S. for another 75 days was signed by Trump in April. Trump told reporters on Air Force One he would 'probably' extend a June 19 deadline for ByteDance to divest from TikTok or sell its assets to an American firm, adding, 'Probably have to get China approval, but I think we'll get it.' Another extension would be Trump's third delaying a forced sale or divestment of TikTok, following earlier orders pushing back the deadline on Jan. 20 and April 4, when a deal was reportedly in place for TikTok's operations to be spun off into a new U.S.-based company before Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs derailed the talks. Trump told NBC News last month he would 'like to see [a deal] done' for TikTok, adding he had a 'little sweet spot in my heart' for the social media platform and he would be 'willing to give it [the deadline] an extension' if needed. How long Trump would delay TikTok's deadline. Both extensions in January and April stalled a ban on TikTok by 75 days. Several companies have emerged as potential suitors for TikTok's assets, including Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft. Amazon's bid for TikTok would include the entire company, unnamed people familiar with the offer told the New York Times, though some parties involved in the talks 'do not appear to be taking Amazon's bid seriously.' AppLovin reportedly made an offer for TikTok and spoke with billionaire Steve Wynn about backing the deal, after the company told the Trump administration it could address national security concerns about the app if it held ownership. The White House previously spoke with Oracle about a deal that would give the company oversight of TikTok's U.S. data, Politico reported. Trump has also named Microsoft as a possible buyer while saying he hoped there would be a 'bidding war' for TikTok. Legislation requiring TikTok to sell itself to an American company or be banned in the U.S. was signed under President Joe Biden last year. That law followed growing bipartisan national security concerns about the app in recent years, after reports claimed China relied on TikTok's U.S. data to spy on Americans. Forbes previously reported the app spied on journalists, mishandled advertiser data and stored financial data of some creators in China, though ByteDance has denied claims user privacy was compromised. Trump issued an executive order in January shortly after he took office, though the app briefly went dark for U.S. users.

Amazon's Prime Day will be twice as long this year as tariffs push shoppers to look for deals
Amazon has set this year's Prime Day shopping event for July 8 to 11. At four days, that's twice as long as last year's Prime Day. The summer sale comes as many shoppers are looking for deals to beat tariff-related cost hikes. Amazon's Prime Day this year will be twice as long as in 2024. It could be a welcome sight for shoppers worried about tariffs. The retail giant said Tuesday that this summer's Prime Day deals event will last four days from July 8 to 11, compared to two days last year. The discounts will apply to a range of products, from school supplies to electronics to snacks, Amazon said. The company plans to release deals on specific brands each day at midnight Pacific time. Amazon also aims to keep shoppers on its website with new deals "dropping as often as every five minutes during select periods," the company said. Amazon's longer Prime Day comes as many consumers are more focused on deals than they have been in a long time. The prospect of higher prices from tariffs has pushed even some high-income shoppers to dollar stores to save money, for instance. Others have stocked up over the last few months on products that could become more expensive if the tariffs come into full force. Many companies have said that they plan to raise prices due to tariffs. This year's Prime Day will fall in the same week that President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on many of the tariffs is set to expire. Trump implemented the pause in April after imposing tariffs on goods from various countries. Last month, the US and China agreed to a separate 90-day cut that left US duties on imports from China at 30% instead of 145%. For Amazon, Prime Day serves a couple of important purposes: It encourages more people to pay for a Prime membership and tries to keep them buying stuff through Amazon. A four-day-long Prime Day is also hardly the first time that Amazon has tried to extend a big shopping event. Amazon first offered Prime Day in 2015. Back then — true to its name — it lasted a single day. Prime Day has gotten longer since. Other retailers, like Walmart and Target, have introduced their own sales around the same time of year. Last year, Amazon also offered discounts during its October Prime Big Deal Days event. The deals, which were separate from Amazon's holiday shopping offers, included discounts on many seasonal items, such as chainsaws and camping gear, that sellers were likely trying to move after the summer.

Instead of Making Prime Day Better, Amazon Is Making It Longer
Get ready for the most exhausting week of not-great deals starting July 8. Amazon's Prime Day is effectively becoming 'Prime Week,' and consumers online will soon be plagued with enough 'hot deals' to exhaust even the sturdiest Black Friday veteran. Instead of hosting a two-day sales extravaganza, Amazon is pushing the total days to four while promising an avalanche of timed deals exclusive to those who pony up for a Prime membership. As far as making its annual shopping holiday any more pro-consumer, that already seems to be far less important than taking over e-commerce for even longer than before. Amazon's once annual shopping event became a biannual sales spree last year, with one date booked for summertime and another that's normally slated for October. Doubling the number of site-wide sales events didn't improve the quality or honesty of the sales. It exacerbated lingering anti-consumer issues. Third-party sellers often jack up prices during sales, then offer steeper discounts to make a mere 10% discount seem like a 50% sale. We witnessed companies offer plenty of these faux markdowns during the last two Prime Days—from Expo dry erase markers to a giant ice tub. If you see any discount that promises more than 50% off, you can all but guarantee the real sale is probably closer to 10% or 20%. Those who pay the $15 a month or $140 annually for a Prime membership will have more time to shop for their deals, but we seriously doubt Amazon has upped its quality standards to make each sale less opaque. Amazon will instead offer timed 'themed daily deal drops' that only Prime members can see. Big brands like Samsung, Kiehl's, and Levi's should get special treatment, but some products will only be available for 'a limited time.' Amazon implied it will offer these deals at five-minute intervals. It will keep many deals posters busy, but there's nothing here that implies Amazon will fix its opaque shopping UI. Gizmodo has an entire guide to help you avoid your worst impulses when you'll inevitably see those sticker prices floating by July 8 through July 11. Webpages like CamelCamelCamel and phone apps like Keepa can offer better insight into how often a product goes on sale and whether you may be able to find it cheaper at a later date from Amazon or some other retailer. The other big push this year beyond timed deals is Amazon's AI 'shopping assistant' chatbot named Rufus. The bot is supposed to offer buying guides tailored to your shopping whims. For Prime Day, you should be able to ask the AI questions about deals timing and receive recommendations. We seriously doubt it will offer any clarification about how often an item goes on sale and whether it makes more sense to wait for a better deal. For example, I ask Rufus about past deals for the Meta Quest 3. The headset with 128GB of storage went on sale last July for $430 instead of $500, but the bot said it doesn't 'have real-time information on sales or discounts.' You have to remember that companies use these sales days to get rid of stock. Just a few months after last year's Quest 3 sale, Meta discontinued the 128GB model and brought the 512GB Quest 3 to $500. It's something to keep in mind if you see any tech companies offering big discounts for slightly older products. Amazon usually discounts its own Echo smart home and other Essentials products with relatively steep reductions, but the retail shopping giant itself will push its latest Echo Spot or Echo Dot devices down to or below its usual Prime Day prices—both before or during the holidays. All these anti-consumer practices didn't keep customers away, though. Amazon claimed last year's July and October events were its 'biggest ever' for those two dates, though the company didn't offer dollar amounts for either shopping event. Adobe told Bloomberg shoppers spent 11% more on Prime Day deals in July 2024 than they did in 2023. The company's quarterly earnings report after its October 2024 Prime Day claimed its net sales increased by 10% up through December compared to the same time in 2023. Amazon is simply capitalizing on consumers' obsession with cheap goods, whether or not they're actually cheap. Prime Day started as a single 24-hour event in 2015, but the fake shopping holiday started running for two days in 2017. The retail giant expanded the number of deals hours continuously in the intervening years until we were stuck with 48 hours of Prime Day in 2019. All the while, the quality of the discounts from big and small brands has diminished. The inevitable next step is for Amazon to establish even more Prime Days, maybe even a full seven-day extravaganza that will become a true idol to consumerism.
