The White House just joined TikTok a month before it's set to be banned (again)
A lot can change in a year — just ask TikTok. Last year, the US government took the extraordinary step of voting to ban the popular app used by millions of Americans, citing national security concerns. On Tuesday, the White House became its latest user. The White House TikTok account launched with a video montage of President Donald Trump narrated by the man himself. "Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation," Trump says over images of him with UFC head Dana White, law enforcement officers, and American workers. "I am your voice!" The account's second post featured various shots of the White House during different seasons. The White House joined the app less than a month before it's set to be banned in the US on September 17 unless it's sold to a US buyer, though that deadline has already been extended several times. "The Trump administration is committed to communicating the historic successes President Trump has delivered to the American people with as many audiences and platforms as possible," Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said in a statement to Business Insider. "President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before." The White House did not respond to questions about whether the divest-or-ban deadline would be extended again or if a deal was expected by the deadline. Lawmakers in April 2024 voted to ban TikTok unless its China-based parent company, ByteDance, sold its American assets. Some officials cited concerns that sensitive data belonging to American users could end up in the hands of the Chinese government, and members of Congress have said it could be used for Chinese Communist Party propaganda. TikTok has said it does not share data with the Chinese government. The TikTok divest-or-ban law, signed by President Joe Biden last year, gave TikTok until January 19 to sell or risk shutting down. The app briefly went dark that day for US-based users before coming back online, with TikTok crediting Trump for its return. The White House has said the president does not want TikTok to go dark and prefers it be sold. Trump has delayed the divest-or-ban deadline three times since taking office in January. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC last month that TikTok will go dark again unless China agrees to a deal that will give Americans control over the app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick said, adding that China's decision would be coming "very soon."

Primary care push by CVS meets resistance
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up DEALS Advertisement TV giant Nexstar agrees to acquire a rival, Tegna, for $6.2 billion Advertisement Local TV colossus Nexstar said Tuesday that it had struck an agreement to acquire a rival TV company, Tegna, for $6.2 billion, a deal that would further consolidate station ownership across the United States. If the deal closes, Nexstar and its partners will oversee 265 television stations in 44 states and Washington, D.C., cementing its position as the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. The Irving, Texas, company says it controls or provides services to 201 stations, reaching roughly 39 percent of television households in the United States. The deal requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission, which oversees the transfer of broadcast TV licenses. Tegna owns roughly 64 TV stations and overlaps with Nexstar in roughly 35 market areas. That overlap could invite regulatory scrutiny, as opponents of local TV consolidation have argued that fewer owners make for a less competitive market for viewers and advertisers. Perry Sook, the CEO of Nexstar, appeared to anticipate some of that criticism in a statement announcing the deal, saying the acquisition of Tegna would allow the company to better compete with tech giants like Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Alphabet's Google. He also praised President Trump, whose choice for FCC chair, Brendan Carr, must authorize license transfers. — NEW YORK TIMES Advertisement RETAIL Home Depot's sales improve as customers stay focused on smaller projects A customer at a Home Depot store in Chicago. Scott Olson/Getty Home Depot's sales improved during its fiscal second quarter as consumers remained focused on smaller projects amid cost concerns and economic uncertainty, but its performance missed Wall Street's expectations. The Atlanta-based company also said shoppers should expect modest price increases in some categories as a result of rising tariff costs, though they won't be broad-based. Company executives told analysts during the earnings call after the results were released that more than 50 percent of its products are sourced domestically and wouldn't be subject to any tariffs. In May, Home Depot said it didn't expect to raise prices because of tariffs, saying it had spent years diversifying the sources for the goods on its shelves. But Billy Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising at Home Depot, told analysts on Tuesday that tariff rates are significantly higher than they were when it released earnings results in May. Revenue for the three months ended August 3 climbed to $45.28 billion from $43.18 billion, but fell short of the $45.41 billion that analysts polled by FactSet were looking for. — ASSOCIATED PRESS ECONOMY D.C. unemployment rate is the highest in the US for the third straight month Commuters crossed Pennsylvania Avenue near the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. Al Drago/Bloomberg The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Washington, D.C., was the highest in the nation for the third straight month, according to new data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. D.C.'s jobless rate reached 6 percent in July, a reflection of the mass layoffs of federal workers, ushered in by President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, earlier this year. An overall decline in international tourism — which is a main driver of D.C.'s income — is also expected to have an impact on the climbing unemployment rate in the District. Neighboring states also saw an uptick in unemployment rates in July — with Maryland at 3.4 percent (up from 3.3 percent) and Virginia at 3.6 percent (up from 3.5 percent), according to the state-by-state jobless figures. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, federal workers across government agencies have been either laid off or asked to voluntarily resign from their positions. Those actions have drawn litigation across the federal government by labor unions and advocacy groups. In July, the Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump administration plans to downsize the federal workforce further, despite warnings that critical government services will be lost and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be out of their jobs. — ASSOCIATED PRESS Advertisement CRYPTOCURRENCY Wyoming becomes the first to launch a state-issued stablecoin Wyoming launched its long-promised stablecoin, designed to offer instant transactions and reduced fees for consumers and businesses, in the latest effort by the Cowboy State to attract digital asset businesses. The Frontier Stable Token, or FRNT, will be backed by dollars and short-term Treasuries and is meant to track the value of the US currency one-for-one. The Wyoming Stable Token Commission is working with LayerZero to issue the tokens and plans for the coins to be overcollateralized by 2 percent. The reserves backing FRNT are managed by Franklin Advisers with financial audit and monthly attestations provided by The Network Firm. The stablecoin will be available on the the Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana blockchains. Wyoming is the first state to issue its own stablecoin after announcing its plans last year. The launch comes shortly after President Trump signed the first federal bill to regulate stablecoins, a watershed moment expected to encourage everyone from large technology players to highly regulated firms like banks to consider launching their own coins. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement TRADE No tariff exemption for European wine and spirits, at least for now Bottles of St-Remy French brandy sit on a store shelf on April 7 in Pasadena, Calif Mario Tama/Getty European Union negotiators have been arguing for weeks that America should not apply a 15 percent tariff to wine and spirits and instead maintain a long-standing tradition of keeping alcohol tariffs at zero on both sides of the Atlantic. But as the United States and the 27-nation bloc move closer to a final text of their recently struck trade agreement, it looks increasingly unlikely that alcohol will catch a break. Irish whiskey, Italian prosecco, French cognac, and all other alcohol imports from the European Union will still face tariffs for now, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the two sides did not carve out those products in their initial deal. The written draft of the trade agreement is still under negotiation and isn't final. But this deep into the process, the reality that no exemption has been agreed to does not bode well for the alcohol industry. For many spirits producers in Europe, America has a major — if not the single most important — customer base. — NEW YORK TIMES

White House starts TikTok account as platform in US legal limbo
The White House launched a TikTok account on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump continues to permit the Chinese-owned platform to operate in the United States despite a law requiring its sale. "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" read a caption on the account's first post on the popular video sharing app, a 27-second clip. The account had about 4,500 followers an hour after posting the video. Trump's personal account on TikTok meanwhile has 110.1 million followers, though his last post was on November 5, 2024 -- Election Day. TikTok is owned by China-based internet company ByteDance. A federal law requiring TikTok's sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before Trump's inauguration on January 20. But the Republican, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media and who has said he is fond of TikTok, put the ban on pause. In mid-June Trump extended a deadline for the popular video-sharing app by another 90 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or be banned in the United States. That extension is due to expire in mid-September. While Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, he reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform -- which boasts almost two billion global users -- after coming to believe it helped him win young voters' support in the November election. Trump's official account on X, formerly Twitter, has 108.5 million followers -- though his favored social media outlet is Truth Social, which he owns, where he has 10.6 million followers. The official White House accounts on X and Instagram have 2.4 million and 9.3 million followers, respectively. des/st
