Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated Sunday that the U.S. will enforce the TikTok ban unless ByteDance sells the app to a U.S.-based owner, countering Trump’s suggestion of a 90-day extension.

Johnson emphasized TikTok’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its harmful influence on American users. GOP Senators Tom Cotton and Pete Ricketts also opposed an extension.

The law does not allow the president to grant an extension without guarantees that ByteDance is actively pursuing a sale.

Johnson added there is no evidence of progress toward such progress.
