During an NBC News interview in May, Trump said he would extend the deadline a third time if a deal isn’t made by the June 19 deadline.

The president announced a second extension on a TikTok ban in April as several U.S. companies have shown interest in acquiring the popular social media platform's U.S. operations.

The move would mark President Trump’s third extension, as he seeks to stave off enforcement of a law requiring that the app be banned in the U.S. or sold.
