Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 20 to extend the ban on TikTok, implemented by former President Joe Biden last year. The order granted a 75-day extension, which Trump said will allow him to consult with his advisors and heads of "relevant" departments and agencies to address national security concerns posed by TikTok.

TikTok could still not be downloaded from the Apple and Google app stores in the U.S, even after President Trump's executive order.

Crypto trading platforms Crypto.com, Moonshot and Coinbase have taken the top three spots in the finance category of Apple’s US App Store.

Chinese startup DeepSeek has caused a massive stir in the AI world, with Donald Trump looking set for another TikTok-style headache amid concerns over DeepSeek's competitive edge and privacy policies. Newsweek has contacted the Trump-Vance administration and DeepSeek, via email, for comment.

The TikTok app is still not available in Google Play or Apple's App Store despite Trump's order halting the ban. Here's what's happening.

(Credit: PCMag/TikTok) UPDATE 11 a.m. ET: For now, Donald Trump's solution to the TikTok ban is a delay ... developed by ByteDance Ltd. that it was required to remove from the App Store. All of these apps have also been removed from Google Play.

Trump, who recently announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure project involving OpenAI and Nvidia, said the release of DeepSeek’s AI model “should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser-focused on competing to win.”

CapCut is a free video-editing platform created, owned and operated by ByteDance. It was launched in the U.S. in 2020. It was the second most downloaded photo and video app in the Apple App Store after Instagram, according to USA Today.

The US president wants US tech companies to dominate artificial intelligence but acknowledges the challenge posed by the low-cost rival, DeepSeek.

Despite President Trump's executive order to delay the TikTok ban, it hasn't reappeared on app stores. Here's why companies are hesitating.

Donald Trump's meeting with Jensen Huang is scheduled at a time when there reports that new government may tighten noose on Nvidia's AI chip trade with China.

The president-elect said that he'll "most likely" give the Chinese app a 90-day extension once he takes office.
