There's just a month until TikTok could be banned – again. Here's where things stand.
President Donald Trump has one month to finalize the sale of TikTok or the short-form video platform risks going dark in the U.S. – again. For months, Trump has said negotiations for the sale of TikTok have been ongoing with China, as the platform is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance. Since the platform went dark for less than 24 hours in January, Trump has extended the deadline on a ban of TikTok in the U.S. three times. And he may just conduct a fourth. In late July, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a CNBC interview that if China did not approve a U.S.-drafted deal to sell the platform's American assets, the app would go dark again, once the next ban extension expires on Sept. 17. "If that deal gets approved by the Chinese, then that deal will happen. If they don't approve it, then TikTok is going to go dark," Lutnick previously said. "And those decisions are coming very soon, so let's see what the Chinese do. They've got to approve it. The deal is over to them right now." The White House did not immediately respond for comment when contacted by USA TODAY on Aug. 15. The next deadline for TikTok to be sold by ByteDance is Sept. 17. Some government officials are concerned that TikTok poses a national security threat, believing that ByteDance, which is based in Beijing, is sharing U.S. user data with China. TikTok has repeatedly denied these claims. In January, the platform went dark for less than 24 hours under federal legislation signed into law by former President Joe Biden in 2024. Trump has signed executive orders three times now that push back the deadline for when TikTok must be sold, promising that deals with China are on the horizon. The latest was in early July, when Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he was hopeful Chinese President Xi would agree to a deal to see the platform to the U.S.

Russian reporters whine about conditions at Trump-Putin summit — but Moscow may be to blame
Russian reporters are whining about having to sleep on cots and being served old tuna for breakfast while covering the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska — but their own country may actually be to blame. The Kremlin journalists griped that they've had to rough it on portable beds with no sheets set up at the Alaska Airlines Center sports arena in Anchorage, where they were hardly able to make phone calls. They — gasp — even had to get by without bottled water. Advertisement 4 Russian journalists from the Kremlin press pool, arriving in Alaska, were housed in a stadium converted into a temporary accommodation center, with single bunks separated by curtains. x/DD_Geopolitics 'After being assigned for [Thursday] night to what appeared to be a disaster evacuation zone, Russian journalists were being treated to breakfast of tuna mayo left out overnight, some chips, and an unlimited supply of water (from a drinking fountain),'' wrote an irked Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of the Russian state-run outlet RT. But critics said Russia is at least partly to blame for what its scribes consider practically Third World conditions. Advertisement 4 Workers set up a sign in front of Air Force One for the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson on August 15, 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska. Getty Images The country flew roughly 50 of its own 'reporters' over to supposedly cover the event, and it's lucky so many of them got into the US at all, considering the nation's intelligence services regularly send spies to work as 'journalists,'' a security source told The Post. There wasn't much time to vet them or get enough accommodations for quickly planned summit, the source noted. Many US reporters didn't get hotel rooms in the small capital city of roughly 290,000, either.

'Americans finally provide journalists with proper food,' declared the X account Alaska Summit News First. But in some corners, the Russian journos are in no position to complain about the US.
