Trump TikTok Executive Order Sparks MAGA Backlash: 'Brazenly Illegal'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump's decision to extend the deadline for TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its United States operations has provoked an intense backlash from prominent conservative voices. The new executive order, signed on Thursday, grants ByteDance an additional 90 days, until September 17, 2025, to divest TikTok or face a ban. Why It Matters Thursday's extension marked the third time Trump has delayed enforcement. The first came via executive order on January 20, his first day in office, after the platform briefly went dark when a national ban approved by Congress and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court took effect. The second extension came in April, when White House officials believed they were close to a deal to spin off TikTok into a new U.S.-owned company. The agreement ultimately collapsed after China withdrew following Trump's tariff announcement. What To Know With each new extension, a U.S. ban on TikTok seems increasingly unlikely in the near future. But the decision to keep the app running by executive order has sparked criticism, even from some of the president's own allies. "This is lawless—nothing in statute or otherwise permits the President to extend the deadline like this," Heath Mayo, founder of conservative group Principles First, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. National Review journalist Charles C. W. Cooke called the move "brazenly illegal," while conservative commentator Guy Benson was even more direct: "This is illegal." Even those generally aligned with Trump's policy goals took issue with the method. "Um there's nothing in the law (or the Constitution) that allows for this," wrote Jonah Goldberg, co-founder of conservative news outlet The Dispatch, on X. The inaction is also prompting unease on Capitol Hill. Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told the Washington Examiner that he was "not overly delighted" about the delay. "I don't think it's a good idea," Wicker said. "I think there is growing frustration," Illinois Republican Representative Darin LaHood, who serves on both the House Intelligence Committee and the Select Committee on China, told the Examiner. "The national security concerns and vulnerabilities are still there, and they have not gone away. I would argue they've almost become more enhanced in many ways." The administration has defended the delay as part of a larger diplomatic and strategic approach to U.S.-China relations. Trump told reporters on Thursday he would "probably" extend the ban and suggested he would need approval from Chinese President Xi Jinping. Americans are now more divided on how to handle TikTok than they were two years ago. While lawmakers largely agreed, passing the law with overwhelming bipartisan support in the House (360–58) and Senate (79–18) last year, the public has begun to take a different view. The original deadline was set for January 19. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that approximately one-third of Americans supported a TikTok ban, down from 50 percent in March 2023. Roughly one-third said they would oppose a ban, and a similar percentage said they were unsure. Among those who said they supported banning the social media platform, about 8 in 10 cited concerns over users' data security being at risk as a major factor in their decision, according to the report.

Photo byWhat People Are Saying President Donald Trump, Thursday on Truth Social: "I've just signed the executive order extending the deadline for the TikTok closing by 90 days (September 17, 2025). Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, told the Associated Press: "An executive order can't sidestep the law, but that's exactly what the president is trying to do." What Happens Next For now, TikTok continues to function for its 170 million users in the U.S., and tech giants Apple, Google, and Oracle were persuaded to continue offering and supporting the app, on the promise that the Justice Department would not use the law to seek potentially steep fines against them.

Why Iran War Hurts China More Than America
China's energy supply from the Middle East could face severe disruptions as the Israel-Iran conflict threatens to spill over into a wider regional war. The industrial superpower's $19 trillion economy relies heavily on coal, natural gas and crude oil for manufacturing. China was the world's largest consumer of energy in 2024 and the second-largest consumer of oil behind the United States, according to the London-based Energy Institute. Israel has launched a week of airstrikes targeting sites in Iran, including facilities central to Tehran's nuclear program, but its energy export infrastructure has so far been spared. That could change as the war intensifies, and fears are growing that Iranian political leaders could respond to any U.S. military intervention by blockading the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Officially, China imported no oil from Iran last year. However, energy researchers say Iranian oil delivered via unofficial channels, such as transshipment, largely end up in the country's smaller independent refineries. The U.S. has sanctioned Chinese entities that allegedly assist in Iran's secret oil trade in defiance of Western restrictions. Over 90 percent of Iran's sanctioned-and therefore cheaper-crude oil exports go to China, including via transshipment points such as Malaysia, said commodities analysts at Kpler. But Chinese energy imports are further exposed in or near the Persian Gulf, where six of its top 10 oil suppliers are found in official government statistics. While Beijing's top oil supplier in 2024 was neighboring Russia, shipments from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar together accounted for over half of China's oil imports, according to Newsweek's analysis of available customs data. The U.S. bought the bulk of its crude oil from Canada. Saudi Arabia and Iraq were among its top 10 suppliers but only accounted for around 8 percent of its imports. Energy markets are jittery. U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Iran's "unconditioned surrender" sent up oil prices this week, but global costs would spike if Tehran follows through on its threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, which links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the wider Indian Ocean region. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that up to 20 million barrels of crude oil each day flow through the waterway, which is just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. Oil prices are still on the rise as the Israel-Iran missile war enters its seventh day. West Texas Intermediate crude, a U.S. price measurement, topped $76 per barrel, a five-month high. The international standard Brent crude reached $77 per barrel, a four-month high. A major conflict that cuts off supply lines from the region could result in a global economic shock that sends oil above $100 per barrel. Prices last reached that point in March 2022, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Officials in Beijing appear to be planning for the worst. China has been building up crude oil stockpiles by refining less than it buys and produces itself, according to Reuters. What's more, disruptions in the Middle East could directly benefit Russia, among the world's top energy exporters. China's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a written request for comment after hours. Howard J. Shatz, a senior economist at the RAND Corporation, said in analysis published by the think tank this week: "Oil prices jumped with the start of Israel's action against Iran, suggesting that oil markets see increased risk, but it is too soon to reach a concrete judgment on global economic consequences. "There will be two specific factors to watch to make a better judgment as to global economic consequences: first, whether Iran attacks Gulf Arab oil infrastructure, and second, whether passage through the Strait of Hormuz is blocked. If either or both happen, energy prices are likely to rise much further, raising the risk of a global recession. If neither happens, there will be heightened risk, but more modest energy price increases to which the world can probably adjust, although with a modest drag on growth." World leaders have moved to inject calm in the Middle East, the latest being Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, who in a call on Thursday condemned Israel for escalating tensions by striking Iran. "If the conflict escalates further, not only will the conflicting parties suffer greater losses, but regional countries will also suffer greatly," Xi said, according to China's official Xinhua news agency. "The parties to the conflict, especially Israel, should cease fire as soon as possible to prevent the situation from escalating in turn and resolutely avoid the spillover of war," he added.

Trump Delays TikTok Ban for a Third Time
WASHINGTON—President Trump gave TikTok another 90-day reprieve Thursday, issuing an executive order deferring enforcement of the 2024 law requiring the Chinese-controlled video app to be sold or shut down for national security reasons. The TikTok ban was set to take effect on Jan. 19, but Trump has issued a series of extensions that have allowed the app to continue operating. The most recent extension expired Thursday.
